UU-2X4
1. Introduction
1.1 General
The UU-2X4, uses one Category 5e or 6 UTP (or STP) cable to extend two independent
USB ports (from one or two different PCs). On the remote side, each extended USB port
terminates into a 4-port USB hub. This allows up to 4 USB devices to be connected to
each extended USB port for a total of 8 ports.
Depending on the UTP cable the unit can extend the USB port to 230 meters (750 ft).
Maximum distance using Cat5 (UTP or STP) cable is 150 meters (500 ft), and using Cat6
(UTP or STP) cable is 230 meters (750 ft).
The UU-2X4 provides all the flexibility of an extended range USB in a ready-to-use
package. The UU-2X4 is compatible with USB 2.0 specifications and supports both low-
speed (1.5 Mbps) and full-speed (12 Mbps) USB data transfer rates.
It delivers all of the benefits of USB, including remote device powering, plug and play
operation, and cross-platform flexibility.
