CU8800, CU8850 | USB extension

The USB specification allows a distance of 5 m between the PC and the USB devices. A further 5 metres of cable can be added by using a USB hub. In the construction of machines and plants, larger distances must be bridged without having to insert a USB hub every 5 metres. The CU8800 USB Extender sends the USB signal via a CAT5 cable that can be up to 50 m long to the CU8850 USB Extended receiver, which converts the signal back to USB. Data rates of up to 12 Mbit/s can be transmitted. Both USB Extender boxes are designed for DIN rail mounting. The CU8800 transmitter is powered by the PC. The CU8850 receiver has an integrated 24 V DC power supply unit.
