INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the ex•tend•it USB•400 Series. Incorporating
ExtremeUSB, the new USB•400 model allows users the benefi ts of USB technology
beyond the desktop, extending your computer keyboard, mouse, trackball, and any USB
device up to 1650 feet away from the location of your Macintosh or PC computer.

The USB•400 system consists of two units: the USB•400S Sender resides next to
the host computer, and the USB•400R Receiver resides next to the ex tend ed USB type
device connected by conventional USB cables.

The USB•400 signal controls the keyboard, mouse, trackball and other USB devices
by buff ering the keyboard/mouse signal through send and receive line driv ers, and the
signal is extended by using standard fi ber optic cabling.

The USB•400FO extends any USB device up to 1,650 feet from the location of your
computer, eliminating the 17.5 feet distance limitation of USB. The USB•400FO also
includes a remote 4 port USB HUB to operate up to four USB devices remotely using
“Extreme USB” technology.
