External V.92 56K USB Fax Modem – Hardware Based Dial up Data Modem

StarTech ID: USB56KEMH

The USB56KEMH bardware-based USB 56k Modem lets you add dial-up Internet access and external fax modem
support to your computer through USB.

This controller-based modem saves system resources and minimizes load on the CPU, using on-chip processing to
deliver dial-up access without taxing your computer performance.

With support for transfer rates up to 56 Kbps (data) and 14.4 Kbps (fax), and compatibility with the latest
transmission standards (V.92, V.90, etc.), this versatile USB modem can be used as a backup Internet connection,
or in rural areas where broadband connections are not available.

To ensure portability and easy setup, the USB modem features a compact, lightweight design and is powered
through the USB host connection, as opposed to an external power adapter. The modem also supports both
Windows® and Mac OS® platforms, providing the versatility needed for true convenience.

Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
