RELEASES USB OVER CAT 5 EXTENDER
Middleton, WI- Intelix LLC, U.S. manufacturer of audio/video
equipment and software, recently announced  the
release of the DIGI-USB-F
balun kit, which extends a USB signal up to 330 feet over
standard structured pair cabling, such as Cat 5 or Cat 6.
“We are extremely excited to introduce the DIGI-USB-F USB
extender,” states Cameron Smith, Intelix Sales and Marketing
Manager, “The first product in our new DigiCat Series of high-performance
baluns, the DIGI-USB-F is perfect for sending USB signals
more than 16 feet—the current maximum length of USB cables.”
 Prior
to the DIGI-USB-F, remote USB devices such as cameras, printers,
scanners, keyboards, and mice were limited to only 16 feet
via direct USB cables or required expensive secondary network
equipment. Using the DIGI-USB-F, remote devices may be connected
up to 330 feet via inexpensive Cat 5 cabling at standard speed
USB (1.5 Mbps) and up to 100 feet at full speed USB (12 Mbps).
The DIGI-USB-F includes a send balun featuring a type B USB
connector, receive balun featuring a type A  USB
connector, and a five foot USB cable. No external power supplies
are required, as the system is powered through the USB connection
to the source and destination devices.
To use, simply connect the DIGI-USB-F send balun to your
source device, connect standard unshielded twisted pair cabling
such as Cat 5 or Cat 5e, and connect the DIGI-USB-F receive
balun to the destination device.
Retail price for the DIGI-USB-F is $190.95.
The Intelix DIGI-USB-F is shipping February 1, 2007.
Intelix offers the broadest line of baluns in the professional
AV marketplace, including solutions for audio, multiple formats
of video, VGA, DVI, HDMI, and PS2. In addition to baluns,
Intelix manufactures an extensive line of serial controlled
mic/line, matrix, room-combine, and automatic mixers. Complete
