Gefen Wireless USB Extender Goes 100 Feet
October 10, 2007 | by Geoff Duncan
Gefen has introduced a new wireless USB extender which enables users to put up to four USB 2.0 peripherals as far as 100 feet away from their computer.
Peripheral and accessory maker Gefen has introduced a new four-port Wireless USB 2.0 Extender that enables users to locate USB 2.0 peripheral up to 100 feet away from their CPUs without running (lots!) of awkward cable. The extender operates using 802.11 wireless technology, so (in theory!) it shouldn't interfere with local Wi-Fi networks, cordless phones, or other wireless systems.
Gefen's wireless extender is compatible with Windows XP/Vista, Mac OS X, and Linux, operates without drivers, and offers a simple one-cable setup on the hosting CPU. Users simply connect the transmitter their CPU's USB port, and then connect peripherals to the receiver, wherever they want it to be. Both the transmitter and receivers operate off 5 Volt power supplies.
The units are available now for a suggested retail price of $399.99.
