SMC’s family of USB products offers a convenient and
cost-effective means of bringing straightforward peripheral
connectivity to the desktop based on the Universal Serial Bus
(USB). These products feature true plug-and-play connection of PC
peripherals “outside the box” and mark a significant advance in
desktop cable management. Using the EZ Connect™ USB/Ethernet
Converter you can simplify PC connections in the home, office or
on the road.
The Universal Serial Bus is designed to replace the current serial,
parallel, and other port types used on a PC with a single universal
interface. Many different types of devices can be attached to a
single PC USB interface by using a cascade of USB hubs (such as
SMC’s EZ Hub USB).
USB uses a unique cable and connector system. The “upstream”
side of the USB cable (“A” side) connects to a USB hub or PC; and
the “downstream” side (“B” side) connects to USB devices or to
another hub’s B side. The USB/Ethernet Converter has a 30 cm (1
foot) length of USB cable with an “Type-A” connector on one side,
and an RJ-45 Ethernet port on the other side. This USB Ethernet
converter allows you to connect to a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX
LAN using your computer’s USB port.
