-The local and remote devices are connected by standard CAT5 or CAT6 cables, They use their own proprietary protocol, so you need to use it one on one. The remote device supports maximum 4 devices, and the the original adapter is strong enough to power 4 FB3-QS.

+The local and remote devices are connected by standard CAT5 or CAT6 (network) cables, They use their own proprietary protocol, so you need to use it one on one (You cannot put a switch or hub in between). The remote device supports maximum 4 USB devices. The the original adapter is strong enough to power 4 FB3-QS.
 There are 3 similar devices from this company (single, dual and quad port versions). They all should work equally well, but we only tested the quad port version.
