The DigitaLinx DL-USB2 series offers a fantastic solution to extend your Hi-Speed USB 2.0 signal (480 Mbps) up to an impressive 100 meters (328 feet). These modular extenders can be powered from either end, which is great for low-power devices like keyboards and mice. For remote devices that need more power, just power the client side extender. The product line includes a modular USB host transmitter (DL-USB2-H), a modular USB client receiver (DL-USB2-C), a wall plate USB host transmitter (DL-USB2-WP-H), and a wall plate USB receiver (DL-USB2-WP-C). All host and client combinations work well together. Key features include extending USB Hi-Speed up to 100 m, being powered from the client side, using any Cat5e/6/6A twisted pair cabling, supplying 500mA to USB devices, and being able to extend USB 1.1 signals. It's also suitable for high-bandwidth USB devices like HD webcams and can handle plenum routing of USB signals. Technical specs show it has one USB Type A, one 8P8C port (Shielded RJ45), and one 5V DC Power barrel. It supports various USB speeds, has a max distance of 100 m, requires specific cable types, and has clear environmental and power specifications, with proper ESD protection and meeting multiple regulatory standards.
Using the DigitaLinx DL-USB2-C is easy. First, connect the USB Type A port on the extender to your USB device. Then, use a Cat5e/6/6A twisted pair cable to connect the 8P8C port on the extender to the corresponding port on the other end of the connection. If your device is a low - power one like a keyboard or mouse, you can power the extender from either end. But for devices that need more power, make sure to power the client - side extender. When it comes to power supply, plug the power adapter into a 100V - 240VAC, 50 - 60 Hz outlet. The adapter will provide 5VDC / 2A to the extender. Keep in mind that the operating temperature should be between 0° to +40° C (+32° to +104° F) and the operating humidity should be 20% to 90% non - condensing. For storage, the temperature can range from - 10° to +60° C (+14° to +140° F) with the same humidity range. To maintain the extender, keep it clean and free from dust. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you encounter any electrostatic discharge issues, the extender has ±8kV (air - gap discharge) and ±4KV (contact discharge) protection, but still handle it with care.
