About the USB Rover
The USB Rover breaks the five-meter distance barrier for the connection of
USB devices and allows users to enjoy the benefits of USB technology
beyond the desktop. With the USB Rover, USB devices can be located up to
40 meters from the host computer. In addition, the USB Rover provides
electrical isolation between the host and the device.
The USB Rover is composed of two individual units, the LEX unit and the
REX unit connected by a custom length of fiber cable.
The LEX unit
The LEX unit connects to the host computer through a captive USB Type A
connector. The LEX unit is powered by the host over USB.
The REX unit
The REX unit connects to the USB device through a USB Type A
receptacle. An external AC adapter provides power to the unit and to any
USB device that may be connected. The REX unit of the USB Rover 200
enables you to connect one full-speed or low-speed USB device.
USB Cables
USB cables have two distinct connectors. The Type A connector is used to
connect the cable from a USB device to the Type A port on a computer or
hub. The Type B connector is used to attach the USB cable to a USB device.
