USB distance extenders aren't just an Icron forte no more. German-based SEH wants a piece of the pie with its new USB device server. Designated myUTN-52, the USB distance extender lets you access your USB devices via an eavesdropping-secure fiber-optic (100BaseFX) network connection. You can transparently administrate the attached USB devices just as if they were locally connected to your PC - safely and without any distance limitations. Essentially, the myUTN-52 - complete with web-based control panel - creates a virtual USB cable extension over fiber-optic. Your Hi-Speed USB peripherals will act like as if they are directly connected a PC. The server comes with 2 onboard USB ports, which can be expanded to five if needed. This type of niche product isn't exactly the answer to consumer joe's USB cable extension. Be prepared to lose $488 if you want the ultimate solution. SEH's USB extender is on the right track as USB 3.0 will likely rely on fiber-optics for extended connectivity over long distance. About Everything USB
