  Q:

Which Tripp Lite USB Hubs are USB 2.0 compliant?

 
  A:

The U222-004-R USB 4-Port Mini Hub.

 
       
  Q:

Are 2.0 USB cables and hubs backward compatible with USB 1.1?

 
  A:

Yes, they are backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices and ports.

 
       
  Q:

Is there a 60-foot cable available for USB 2.0 applications?

 
  A:

No. As an alternative, Tripp Lite recommends the use of four U026-016 Cables.

 
       
  Q:

Are there drivers available for Tripp Lite USB Adapters?

 
  A:

Yes. Drivers are usually included on the CD that comes with the device. They are also available online at www.tripplite.com/support/download.

 
       
  Q:

What is the speed of USB 2.0?

 
  A:

USB 2.0 has a data transfer rate of up to 480 Mbps.

 
       
  Q:

Is there any other type of connection that is comparable to USB 2.0?

 
  A:

Firewire cables are capable of transferring data at rates between 100 and 400 Mbps. However, Firewire and USB cables are not interchangeable.

 
       
  Q:

What’s the difference between U160 and U320?

 
  A:

The difference is the speed. A U320 will support all current SCSI speeds. A U160 cable is not designed to support a U320 speed (it could choke the system speed down to the U160 level).

 
       
  Q:

What’s the difference between Cat5e and Cat6?

 
  A:

These cables are physically different internally. A Cat6 cable has an internal spine running down the length of the cable, separating four sets of twisted pairs and providing additional insulation. This enables Cat6 cables to support higher data transfer rates. Cat6 cables may be used in all Cat5, Cat5e and Cat6 applications.

 
       
  Q:

Can you use a U209-000-R with a USB UPS?

 
  A:

No.
