Product Description Please Note: This product is not backwards compatible with USB 2.0/1.1/1.0, unless used with the Lindy USB 2.0 Adapter. It is recommended that you install the latest drivers and firmware for your USB 3.0 Host controller to ensure correct operation. The Lindy USB 3.0 Fibre Optic Extender supports far longer distances than standard copper cables, using standard ""off the shelf"" LC duplex fibre, whilst retaining SuperSpeed transfer rates of up to 5Gbps. The Extender is a two part hardware solution comprising of a transmitter that connects directly to your computer and receiver that connects to the USB peripheral. Since the Extender uses fibre optic cable this rules out the possibility of any electrical interference on the extended signal. Ideal for remote desktop links, industrial control, surveillance and external storage applications the extender gives long distance access to many devices. Below are examples of the achievable distances using the different grades of fibre: 62.5/125µm OM1 : 100m 50/125µm OM2 : 200m Set Contains: 1 x USB Extender Transmitter and Receiver UnitsMulti-Country PSULINDY Manual
