APPENDIX C: USB 1.1 Compliance
Appendix C: USB 1.1 Compliance
The USB X-Tender is designed to extend the maximum
connection distance between host computers and
peripheral devices that conform to the USB 1.1
specification. This includes simple USB devices such as
mice, cameras, printers and scanners; USB hubs; and
compound USB devices such as keyboards with built-in
hubs.
Under USB 1.1, the maximum connection distance
for a USB device is 5 meters (16.4 feet) for full-speed
devices or 3 meters (9.8 feet) for low-speed devices. It is
also possible to connect up to five USB hubs in a
daisychain configuration to achieve an extended
connection distance of up to 25 meters (82 feet).
Using the USB X-Tender, you can connect any
USB-1.1-compliant device to a host computer with a
USB-1.1-compliant port over an extended distance
without needing to daisychain hubs.
