Thank you for purchasing the Gefen USB•100 Series. The USB•100 incorporates
ExtremeUSB™ technology, which allows users the benefits of USB technology
extended far beyond the desktop at remote locations. Extending your USB peripherals
up to 330 feet away from the location of your office computer is done easily with the
USB•100.
The USB•100 system consists of two units. The USB•100S Sender resides next to
the host computer, and the USB•100R Receiver is linked to the Sender via Category-5
(CAT-5) cable and resides at the desired location of the USB accessory device away
from the computer.
You can connect additional USB•100 systems to the same computer, allowing you to
connect multiple USB peripherals at remote locations up to 330 feet away from the host
computer.
