ADDER C-USB, CUSBEXT100 Owner's manual

  • Hello! I am an AI chatbot trained to assist you with the ADDER C-USB Owner's manual. I’ve already reviewed the document and can help you find the information you need or explain it in simple terms. Just ask your questions, and providing more details will help me assist you more effectively!
The Adder C-USB modules allow you to extend the distance between a USB peripheral and your computer by
up to 100 meters.
The local module connects to a vacant USB port on your computer. You then connect your USB 1.1 or 2.0
peripheral to the remote module which is linked via CAT5e, 6 or 7 cabling (not supplied) to the local module.
A power adapter is provided to supply either the local or remote module, whichever is most convenient.
In operation, the C-USB modules remain transparent to allow your USB peripheral to work as expected.
