Black Box IC282A USB 1.1 Extender
Overview
The Black Box IC282A USB 1.1 extender allows you to connect two USB 1.1 peripherals beyond the standard 16-foot (5-meter) limitation, extending their reach up to 328 feet (100 meters). This is critical for deployments where devices like barcode scanners, printers, or specialized sensors need to be located far from the host computer, such as in warehouse automation, industrial control, or large facility surveillance systems. It provides a reliable point-to-point extension for essential USB 1.1 devices.
Compatibility
This extender is designed for USB 1.1 devices and hosts. It functions as a transparent extension, meaning it does not alter the USB protocol. It is compatible with any host system that supports USB 1.1, including Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. Specific compatibility with individual USB 1.1 peripheral models should be verified based on their power draw and protocol adherence. It is not designed for USB 2.0 or higher speeds.
Installation Notes
The IC282A consists of two units: a local transmitter and a remote receiver. Both units require a power supply (sold separately) to operate, as USB power is not sufficient for the extension distance. Standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cabling is used for the connection between the transmitter and receiver, offering flexibility in routing. Ensure the Ethernet cable is terminated correctly and is free from damage to maintain signal integrity over the full 328-foot distance.
