This way, you can extend your USB bus connections to newer USB 3.0 devices that use higher bandwidths and require bidirectional asynchronous, full-duplex data transfer. Plus, it supplies more power than USB 2.0 to the remote devices.With the higher data-transfer rate and power, the extender is ideal for connecting industrial USB 3.0 machine vision cameras, particularly those with high power sensors. It's also great for post-production video editing and broadcast applications with USB 3.0 peripherals and external USB CD/DVD drives in different rooms. The extender offers reliable operation with all USB 3.0, including USB hubs. The local unit draws its power from the USB bus and the two-port remote unit receives its power from the included AC adapter. The remote unit supplies 900 mA power for each USB port.
