The DigitaLinx DL-USB2-WP-H is an amazing wall plate host USB 2.0 high-speed twisted pair extender. It can extend a high-speed USB 2.0 signal (480 Mbps) up to 100 meters (328 feet). For low-power devices like keyboards or mice, the extenders can be powered on either end. But for remote devices needing more power, the client-side extender must be powered. The product line includes a modular USB host transmitter, a modular USB client receiver, a wall plate USB host transmitter, and a wall plate USB receiver, and all host and client combinations are compatible. Key features include extending USB high-speed up to 100 m, being powered from the client-side extender, using any Cat5e/6/6A twisted pair cabling, supplying 500mA to USB devices, extending USB 1.1 signals, extending high-bandwidth USB devices such as HD webcams, and enabling plenum routing of USB signals. Technical specifications cover I/O connections (one USB Type B and one 8P8C port), supported signals (USB 2.0 low, full, and high speeds; USB 1.1 low and full speeds), extender characteristics (max distance 100 m), cable requirements (Category 5e, 6, or 6A), chassis and environmental details (painted aluminum enclosure, specific dimensions, shipping weight, operating and storage temperature and humidity), and power, ESD, and regulatory aspects (500mA to USB devices, max power consumption 4.3 watts, ESD protection, FCC, CE, RoHS compliance).
Using the DigitaLinx DL-USB2-WP-H is easy. First, connect your USB device to the USB Type B port on the extender. Then, use a Cat5e/6/6A twisted pair cable to connect the 8P8C port of the extender. If you're using low-power devices like keyboards or mice, you can power the extender from either end. But for devices that need more power, make sure to power the client-side extender. Keep in mind that the maximum distance for signal extension is 100 meters. Don't try to use it beyond this limit as it may affect the signal quality. When it comes to maintenance, keep the extender in a dry place within the operating temperature range of 0° to +40° C and humidity between 20% to 90% (non-condensing). If you're not using it for a long time, store it in a place with a temperature between -10° to +60° C and the same humidity range. Also, be aware of the ESD protection. Avoid touching the ports with static electricity on your hands. This extender is compliant with FCC, CE, and RoHS regulations, so you can use it with confidence.
