Aten UEH4102: 4-Port USB 2.0 Extender over LAN - Cat5, TAA Compliant

The UEH4102 4-Port USB 2.0 Extender over LAN from Aten brings true USB 2.0 extension beyond the standard 5-meter USB cable limit, delivering high-performance connectivity over a Gigabit Ethernet Local Area Network. Leveraging patented ExtremeUSB technology, this solution enables you to place USB peripherals wherever they are most needed while maintaining native USB performance. With four downstream USB 2.0 ports, it supports multiple devices simultaneously across a LAN, turning your existing network infrastructure into a flexible USB deployment platform. Its TAA compliance ensures it meets government procurement standards, making it suitable for enterprise, education, healthcare, and regulated environments that require reliable, compliant hardware.

• True USB 2.0 extension up to 480 Mbps across a Gigabit Ethernet LAN, preserving high-speed data transfers for storage, imaging, audio-visual, and HID devices without the bottlenecks of standard USB cables.
• 4 downstream USB 2.0 ports provide simultaneous support for multiple devices at remote sites, enabling centralized control of peripherals like printers, scanners, lab instruments, and medical devices across the network.
• ExtremeUSB technology eliminates the conventional 5-meter USB distance barrier by leveraging LAN infrastructure, allowing USB peripherals to be located where they are most convenient or secure while remaining accessible to the host computer.
• Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet connectivity supports existing network cabling, reducing the need for new wiring and enabling scalable USB expansion across offices, labs, classrooms, and facilities with consistent performance over standard networks.
• TAA compliant for government and enterprise procurement, providing assurance of compliance with sourcing requirements and industry standards while maintaining reliable operation in demanding environments.

How to install Aten UEH4102

• Place the USB host computer near the transmitter unit of the UEH4102 system. Connect the host’s USB port to the transmitter’s USB input using a standard USB cable.
• Connect the transmitter to your LAN using a Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cable and ensure the transmitter is powered according to the included power supply requirements.
• Position the receiver unit near the USB peripherals you want to access remotely. Connect the four USB devices to the receiver’s downstream USB ports.
• Link the receiver to the same Gigabit LAN as the transmitter with a Cat5e/Cat6 cable and apply power to the receiver. The devices connected to the receiver should appear as attached to the host computer over the LAN.
• Power on both units and verify operation through the host computer’s USB device list. In most setups, no additional software is required; USB drivers installed on the host will recognize the remote devices as if they were directly connected.
