Product Overview

View of the CU8850-0000 USB-Extender-Rx

The USB specification allows a distance of 5 m between the PC and the

USB devices. A further 5 metres of cable can be added by using a USB hub. In the construction of machines and plants, larger distances must be bridged without having to insert a USB hub every 5 metres. The CU8800 USB Extender sends the USB signal via a CAT5 cable that can be up to 50 m long to the CU8850 USB Extended receiver, which converts the signal back to USB. Data rates of up to 12 Mbit/s can be transmitted. Both USB Extender boxes are designed for DIN rail mounting.

Other outstanding features are:

• user-friendly installation via integrated top hat rail adapter

• 24 V

• 12 Mbit, and 1.5 Mbit support for compatibility to all USB1.1

standards

• standard CAT5 network cable for extension

• compact industrial design

• clear quick diagnosis by separate LEDs for power supply in and

out
