The Black Box IC401A-R2 is a hardware module designed to extend USB 2.0 device connectivity beyond the standard 16-foot limitation. This unit is crucial for deployments where a peripheral, such as a keyboard, mouse, or specialized USB device, needs to be located further from the host computer or system. Its compact form factor and plug-and-play operation simplify integration into existing setups, providing a reliable extension for critical USB peripherals in environments like control rooms, server racks, or industrial automation systems.
This USB 2.0 extender is compatible with any host system supporting USB 2.0 and a standard USB device requiring extension. It functions as a direct extension, meaning it does not alter the USB protocol or speed beyond the native USB 2.0 specification (up to 480 Mbps). It is designed to work with standard USB 2.0 devices and is not intended for USB 3.0 or higher speeds.
The IC401A-R2 is a passive extension device. Ensure that the total cable length, including the original USB cable and the extension, does not exceed the maximum USB 2.0 specification to maintain signal integrity. For optimal performance, keep the total length under 16 feet. Connect the device to the host computer and then connect your USB peripheral to the other end of the extender.
