so instead of going out to buy a 15ft usb cable, ur saying all I have to do is go out and buy a 15ft Ethernet cable!!! this is so goddamn pointless!!! som1 needs to invent a usb transmitter and receiver, if ppl are to poor to get a wifi..
you just need any cable with 4 wires in them, doesn't have to be eithernet. Just connect the USB's black(Gnd), green(D+), white(D-), and red (5V) wires, and extend it as long as you like : )
woot. nice. i do t-shirt printing and use an epson workforce 1100 (no ethernet on this printer, but it's an extremely necessary printer for the business) i'll be glad to place it elsewhere now.
I thought your technology bringing it forward, but you are bring it backward. to save more money, Setup your network to printer sharing. All of your family and friends or you can used this what ever you like.
ok i have a question. if i have a room in on side were all of our internet comes in and in another room in our house we have run one ethernet cable to a computer in there. would this work if we attached an ethernet switch and ran internet and the usb device throught that one ethernet cable to the routher in the other room and from the routher to a switch and from that switch to the reciewer. or would the routher or switches mess up the signal?
The description below describes one way to get around the "max 5 meter USB cable" issue. It is in no way nessecarily the correct one it's just one way they could have done it.
(I'm reversing these comments so they read properly)
Warning Technical. The problem:
The USB 2.0 standard defines 26ns for the max transmission time for a cable. This calculates out to about 7.75m (25.5ft.) assuming no resistance (The speed of light & in no way practical).
The 5m (16ft.) max is really a restriction in materials used. You could get an extra couple feet out of it by using better materials, but do you really want to be paying $200 for a USB cable(for more expensive materials)?
What this device does is restrict the data speed to USB 1.1 (by using the USB 1.1 standard) this increases the max transmission time to 70ns and extends the absolute limit to almost 21m (69.25ft.) assuming no resistance (non-superconductors are sooo annoying).
Assuming the same materials made for the USB 1.1 connection it sets the length at about 13.5m (44.5ft.). Again not the 150m claim of this device's specifications; again all theoretical.
What I'm guessing this device is doing is extending the device's length by pretending to be a USB hubs on each end to "repeat" the signal (allowable up to 5 hubs in a daisy chain).
This done it then uses a terminated medium (ethernet cable) to send the signal. USB cables are not terminated and can cause signal reflection in longer lengths.
So they are effectively cheating to get more time to work with and then removing the length problem by using terminated cabling.
This makes for 3x the cable transmission time to work with. So (using the aproximated number of 13.5m or 44.5ft. from above) you end up with a length of about 40.5m (133.5ft.) is theoretically possible using conventional materials. Possibly longer as the ethernet cabling standards may allow for a little extra leeway.
and using Power-over-Ethernet they wouldn't even have to power the far end (power from the PC, running through the ethernet cable to power the dongle on the other end).
This wouldn't work though! USB degrades after 15 ft (5 meters). So, sure you can have a 100 foot cable, but your USB device won't work. I can't even get some of my devices to work at 30 feet. That's why you can't buy USB cords longer thatn 5 meters, because it won't necessarily work.
Perhapse using ethernet cords helps the signal go longer, I really don't know for sure. Someone please correct me it I'm wrong. But I doubt it really help the signal go that much further.
For something simple like printing... wireless networking is the best way to go. I have a great wireless all-in-one from lexmark that all of my computers/laptops can access from anywhere in the house/property. What I want to see is a wireless usb hub so I can access all of my peripherals from anywhere in the house. Does anyone know if there is anything like this available yet?
what about a conncection that u can run through the digital tv cable that is already in the wall.. wouldn't that be faster than usb or ethernet anyway?

why don't you just get rid of the printer you have and replace it with ethernet enabled printer that everyone can connect to, problem solved.
