Silex Technology America has rolled out SX-3000GB, a Gigabit USB Device server, which allows users to share up to 15 USB devices over TCP/IP through a gigabit ethernet interface.
According to Silex, the new SX-3000GB provides networking capabilities to MP3 players, web cameras, speakers, monitors and many other devices with a USB interface for home users, while business applications include devices from card readers to USB dongles and storage devices running on Macintosh or Windows.
In addition, SX-3000GB can also be integrated in a virtual desktop infrastructure to provide USB device connections in a server based computing environment.
The new SX-3000GB comes with features including one 10/100/1000Base ethernet port that can be connected to a wireless router for wireless USB device networking; two hi-speed USB 2.0 ports supporting up to one amp of USB bus power combined; connect up to 15 USB devices using a hub; and bundled ‘SX-Virtual Link’ client software utility, the company said.
Silex USB device servers allow users to connect virtually any USB device to a wired or wireless network. Silex’s Virtual USB transfers the packets out over the LAN using TCP/IP to the USB device connected to the Silex USB Device Server.
David Smith, president of Silex Technology America, said: “Over the past five years, it has been amazing to learn how creatively our customers have utilized our technology to change the way people interact with many different USB devices. With the SX-3000GB product, as a new best of breed, even more applications will open up with the higher throughput and we will continue to lead the way in USB device networking.”
