Overview

Model 4169 High Speed Ruggedized LC Fiber-to-USB Converter/Extender, 4-Port USB Hub, Desktop Configuration

• Simultaneously connect up to four USB Interface Devices to your desktop PC or notebook.
• High speed connection to distant USB devices over multimode fiber optic cable.

The desktop Model 4169 is a 4-Port USB Hub that works with desktop Model 4162 Host (also see related products tab for M4162 details) to comprise a Host and a Four Port USB Wired Hub that extend USB connections up to 500 meters via a high speed Fiber interface.

Two configurations are available for each model
(see Related Products tab):
(1) Model 4162 Host Desktop Unit, for applications requiring an enclosure.
(2) Model 4162-DIN Host Unit for applications requiring mounting on a DIN rail.
(3) Model 4169 4-Port USB Hub Desktop Unit, for applications requiring an enclosure.
(4) Model 4169-DIN 4-Port USB Hub Unit for applications requiring mounting on a DIN rail.

HOST & 4-PORT USB HUB TYPICAL APPLICATION: Fiber link up to 500m (Multimode).

• Typical applications include industrial control, KVM extension, remote desktop USB connections, remote USB device sharing, (printer, scanned, storage, etc.).
• The unit offers true plug and play operability with support for Windows®, Mac OS®, Linux®, and support all USB device types: Control, Interrupt, Bulk, and Isochronous at up to 480 Mbps. 

FEATURES: 

• Convert USB 2.0 compliant data from a standard PC Host interface, Model 4162, over fiber to a remote 4-Port powered USB Hub, Model 4169.
• Ideal for applications involving PC communication that require high speed, secure communication, and optical isolation.
• Extend USB communication in environments that are subject to high EM or RF interference that might corrupt communication over a copper interface.
• Typical applications include industrial control, KVM extension, remote desktop USB connections, and remote USB device sharing such as printers, scanners and storage devices.
• Units offer true plug and play operability with support for Windows®, Mac OS®, Linux®, and support all USB device types: Control, Interrupt, Bulk and Isochronous up to 480 Mbps. 
• Designed to operate from -0 degree C to 50 degree C (component ratings meet or exceed 0° C to 70° C).
• Ruggedized against shock and vibration.
• Units feature ESD protection circuitry on all copper USB I/O interfaces.
• Power inputs are protected from transients and the 4-port USB Hub provides the USB standard of 500mA per port.
• LEDs display Power, Fiber Link Active, Host Active (Model 4162, 4162-DIN) and Port Active (Model 4169, 4169-DIN) indicator LEDs.
