USB 1.1 Active Extension Cable
UIC4102CP
Description
This device is an extension cable between USB device and host (computer) withembedded into connector “intelligent” integrated circuits on both sides of the cable.The USB cable with the chip inside is not a passive extension cable. It is an activedevice. The USB signals going in and out of this extension cable in both directions arebuffered to assure signal quality. Unlike passive USB cables the IC prevents signaldegradation. The embedded “intelligent” integrated circuit cleans, amplifies USB signaland watches USB 1.1 protocol. Its Control State Machine enables and disables USB andCable transmitters inside the chip depending on USB signals.
Compatibility
The UIC4102CP complies with USB 1.1 specifications governing the design of full-speed and low-speed USB devices. However, Unique ICs does not guarantee that all fullspeed USB devices are compatible with the UIC4102CP.Some low power low-speed USB devices can work with cable up 100 meters.
