Black Box USB 3.0 Extender - Multimode, 2-Port

Black Box USB 3.0 Extender - Multimode, 2-Port

Extend a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 signal beyond the 16 ft (5 m) limitation up to 328 ft (100 m) over Multimode fiber to two peripherals. Compatible with the USB 3.0 or "SuperSpeed USB" standard, the extender boasts speeds up to 5 Gbps, about ten times that of USB 2.0. This way, you can extend your USB bus connections to newer USB 3.0 devices that use higher bandwidths and require bidirectional asynchronous, full-duplex data transfer. Plus, it supplies more power than USB 2.0 to the remote devices. With the higher data-transfer rate and power, the extender is ideal for connecting industrial USB 3.0 machine vision cameras, particularly those with high power sensors. It's also great for post-production video editing and broadcast applications with USB 3.0 peripherals and external USB CD/DVD drives in different rooms
