Another Way to Extend USB Signals

In the previous article it was discussed how to extend USB effectively.  As stated before, USB really is an amazing and convenient protocol that has truly become universal (as its name suggests: Universal Serial Bus).  With a transfer rate maxing out at 480 mbps, why wouldn’t you want to extend it?

Another way to extend it besides the before-mentioned USB extension cable is a Cat5 extender.  Essentially it takes your USB signal, converts it to travel through a Cat5 cable for your desired length, and then converts it back into USB.  So you have a sender and a receiver, all connected by a Cat5 cable.  Try one out, we suggest the one by Gefen… the EXT-USB-2.0
