NTI XTENDEX USB EXTENDER
INTRODUCTION
The NTI USB-C5 USB Extender was designed to allow the connection of up to 4 USB devices (keyboards, mice,
cameras, etc.) to a USB CPU using unshielded CAT5 cable. It acts as a remote USB HUB. The USB-C5 USB Extender is selfpowered and designed for high power devices.
It is extremely simple to install and has been thoroughly tested to insure re liable performance. Through the use of Category 5
unshielded twisted-pair cable it is possible to economically increase the range of the USB.
Available Option
• Model USB-C5-CE has been tested and certified to meet CE emission and immunity requirements.
Glossary
• bus-powered- devices powered from the USB cable- .5A (500mA) maximum
• self-powered- devices powered from a local source (such as batteries or transformer) requiring only negligible
current draw from the USB cable
Limitations
The total length of the CAT5 cable between a USB CPU and devices con nected to the USB-C5 USB Extender must not exceed
100 feet.
Note: "total length" includes the USB cable from the CPU + the CAT5 cable + cable length to any device.
(For bus powered devices only- exclude self-powered devices from calculation)
