The DigitaLinx DL-USB2-WP-C is a remarkable device that extends high-speed USB 2.0 signals (up to 480 Mbps) over a distance of up to 100 meters (330 feet). It's a great choice for low-power devices like keyboards and mice, as the extenders can be powered on either end. For remote devices needing more power, just power the client-side extender. This product line includes various options such as a modular USB host transmitter, a modular USB client receiver, a wall plate USB host transmitter, and this wall plate USB receiver. All host and client combinations are compatible. Key features include extending USB high-speed signals up to 100 m, being powered from the client-side extender, using any Cat5e/6/6A twisted pair cabling, supplying 500mA to USB devices, and being able to extend USB 1.1 signals too. It's perfect 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 a 5V DC power barrel. It supports multiple USB speeds and has specific cable, enclosure, and environmental requirements. Also, it has proper power, ESD, and regulatory features.
Using the DigitaLinx DL-USB2-WP-C is quite easy. First, connect the USB device to the USB Type A port on the extender. Then, use a Cat5e/6/6A twisted pair cable to connect the 8P8C port of the extender to the corresponding port at the other end. 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. Keep in mind that the maximum distance for signal extension is 100 meters. As for maintenance, keep the device in a dry place with an operating temperature between 0° to +40° C and humidity between 20% to 90% (non-condensing). When storing, the temperature should be between -10° to +60° C and the same humidity range. Avoid exposing the device to static electricity as it has ESD protection, but still, it's better to be cautious. And make sure to use a power supply that meets the input requirements of 100V - 240VAC / 50 - 60 Hz.
