USB 2.0 normally only extends up to 15 feet reliably. The U-Link allows you to extend four USB 2.0 devices up to 200 ft.Many USB extenders draw power from the computer through the USB cable. The problem is that you could experience a drop in voltage making some devices impossible to extend. The U-Link has its own power source to prevent any signal loss and can be plugged into either the sender or receiver.
Plug-and-Play Installation
- Connect the Sender (TX) to the host computer using the included USB 2.0 cable.
