One to four USB peripheral devices can be placed away from the host computer using the USB Extender. Basic extenders allow users the benefits of USB technology beyond the desktop, extending the computer keyboard, mouse and any USB device up to 150 feet away from the location of the PC. Connections between the remote unit and the local unit are secured via Cat5/Cat5e cables. Another milestone in this USB technology is the extension of these peripherals over distances up to 10kms over fiber optic cables. Investment in existing hardware can be maintained and the same peripherals can be placed away from the host computer thereby providing economical means of long range transmission.

 Also known as USB extender, this is purely a hardware device with no requirement for additional software for either the host computer or for the peripheral devices. These extenders are fully compatible with most USB devices and they support typical plug and play specifications. Cross platform flexibility which is a benefit of using USB, is also available in these units. Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, Mac-OS, Linux and Sun are also supported by them. These extenders are compliant with USB 1.1 specifications.

Why the **** would u want your keyboard 10kms from your computer? Theres no need when you can use remote assistance to connect to it from another computer.

I think you are all missing the potential here.

Imagine having your computer next to your projector, while you are sitting in a custom gaming chair across the room in your theater.

OR

Having a set of External hard drives in the fridge in your garage.

The second option sounds like a good way to infinitely store data.

They wouldn't be wireless.  You could have them connected over a single Cat-5e cable.  It doesn't run over Ethernet.  I have one of these somewhere.. I will have to find it and show you all how it works.
