USB Extenders
The USB standard calls for a maximum range of 5 meters, but you can extend this useful protocol up to 100 meters (330 feet) over standard UTP cabling and up to 500 meters (1640 feet) on fiber using these devices. They are fully compliant with the USB 1.1 specification and deliver all of the benefits of USB, including remote device powering, Plug-and-play operation, and cross-platform flexibility. Complete with power supplies and 1 meter USB cable when required.
USB over Ethernet
AnywhereUSB is the first remote networking solution to utilize USB over IP technology, making it easy to connect USB devices anywhere on a wired or wireless LAN, while eliminating the need for locally-attached host PCs.
USB Hubs
USB is intended to be a user friendly, hot plug-and-play bus for desktop applications. With the growing popularity and wide public acceptance for this protocol, USB has recently become the standard connection in the PC environment. Devices such as data acquisition, serial, parallel, Ethernet, etc., can now be connected to USB through bridges. These bridges extend the desktop into environments not originally foreseen for USB applications.

USB Surge Protection
Single stage surge protectors Protection that fits your budget. These single stage surge protectors offer a high degree of protection at a budget-minded price.
Powered USB Solutions
Unique cabling technology allows USB devices to receive power from a basic PC instead of external power supplies. This frees up valuable space and eliminates more potential points of failure.
USB Data Acquisition
Data Acquisition System provides quick and easy Plug N Play connection to any USB equipped computer. The USB Host connection provides fast sampling and powers the module, minimizing additional hardware, converters, or power supplies.
USB Cables
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) specification calls for a maximum cable length of 5 meters (16.5 feet). B&B Electronics provides cable to extend shorter cables to the maximum allowable, and also cabling devices that allow you to extend the range beyond 5 meters, and still stay within the specification.
