The Nomad 4100 is designed for end user applications. It provides all the flexibility of extended range USB in a ready-to-use package. The USB Nomad 4100 is fully compliant with the USB 1.1 Specification and delivers all of the benefits of USB, including remote device powering, plug and play operation, and cross-platform flexibility.
Nomad 4100 sends USB information over a standard Cat5 UTP cable. This technology uses "ExtremeUSB®", and works without software installation.
The Nomad series are composed of two separate units: the Local Extender (LEX) and the Remote Extender (REX). Conventional USB cables are used to connect the LEX unit to the host computer and to connect one or more remote USB devices to the REX unit. Category 5 UTP cabling is used to connect the LEX and REX units over a distance of up to 100 m/328 ft..
The Nomad 4100 offers the flexibility of locating the power at either the LEX or the REX. Depending on where the power adapter is located, both the USB Ranger 110 and the Nomad 4100 can support both high-power and low-power USB devices.
