USB Server Gigabit - 2x USB 2.0

Camera, audio & storage - Extend, share and remotely use USB devices via network

The Gigabit 2.0 USB Server integrates USB devices such as cameras, audio or storage media into the network via TCP/IP Ethernet in an industry-compatible manner. The USB devices connected to the USB server behave in exactly the same way as if they were connected directly to your Windows or Linux PC. If you would like to use dongles, printers & scanners in the network, please select the USB Server Megabit 2.0.

USB Redirector

The W&T USB Redirector allows local USB devices to be connected easily and reliably via the network. Both as a replacement for missing hardware USB ports and for integration into virtual environments such as VMware®, Hyper-V®, etc. or as a powerful line driver over longer distances, your USB communication becomes fully network-compatible.

USB over network: easy integration and full transparency

Install the USB Redirector on your system, and your USB device will behave as if it were connected directly to your PC. The Wiesemann and Theis USB servers integrate connected devices into your existing network via TCP/IP without the need for driver adjustments or complex configurations. USB devices can also be used across multiple rooms, floors, or buildings without any loss of performance or instability.

Support for all USB devices and modes

The USB Redirector supports all USB standards up to USB 3.0 / USB 3.2 Gen 1. This includes both classic USB peripherals such as dongles, printers, and data carriers, as well as isochronous devices for audio, video, and measurement technology. Transparent protocol conversion eliminates compatibility lists, and all USB devices are addressed as if they were connected locally.

Typical applications of USB Redirector

Dongle servers:

Operate license dongles securely in the server room and share them over the network

Virtual machines:

Connect USB devices in VMware®, Hyper-V®, or VirtualBox® environments

Line drivers:

Connect USB devices over any distance via Ethernet

Central access:

Share USB resources such as scanners, measuring devices, or card readers within your team

Galvanic isolation

Avoid ground loops and electrically decouple devices

Reliable operation under Windows and Linux

USB Redirector is deeply integrated into the plug-and-play architecture of Windows and Linux. Virtual USB ports appear in the system like physical connections and can also be used without user login, which is ideal for servers, control computers, or automated test systems. Automatic restart after network interruptions ensures uninterrupted communication and maximum operational reliability.
