What makes this USB box so special?
USB connections are one of the most convenient and inexpensive interfaces around and have become increasingly popular in newer PCs. Unfortunately, it only has a 15-foot limit, which puts a damper on how useful it is when you are further away from your computer. Black Box’s USB X-Tenders are your answer for this. When used in pairs, these devices allow you to extend your USB connection up to 1000 feet using CAT5 cable. |
