Description USB Repeater over Category 5 Cable up to 328ft The USB Rover 1300 is a commercial grade product designed for end user applications. It provides all the flexibility of extended range USB in a ready-to-use package. The USB Rover 1300 is optimized for applications where one device, such as a keyboard or mouse, must be operated remotely. The USB Rover 1300 provides support for a single remote device or hub.

Further Explanation... USB Rover products are composed of two separate units: the Local Extender (LEX) and the Remote Extender (REX). Conventional USB cables are used to connect the LEX unit to the host computer and to connect the remote USB device to the REX unit. Category 5 UTP cabling is used to connect the LEX and REX units over a distance of up to 100 meters. The USB Rover 1300 is powered from USB and delivers enough power at the remote unit to drive most USB devices.

Compatible with standard devices USB Rover products operate over standard Category 5 UTP cable (the same wiring used in Ethernet). The technology behind the product requires no additional software for either the computer or the target devices.
