Drive all your USB peripherals
to peak performance
USB 2.0 boosts peripheral performance up
to 40 times that of USB 1.1. And you can
take your USB 1.1 devices along for the ride;
simply hook them up to the Adaptec®
USB2Connect™ in your PC or Mac®. High-
performance USB 2.0 Windows drivers
complete this speedy solution. Accelerate
your peripheral support with USB2Connect!
Go for maximum speed with USB 2.0
USB 2.0 is the fastest USB standard yet
released, supporting data speeds up to 480
megabits per second (Mbps). That’s 40 times
faster than USB 1.1. It makes USB 2.0 an ideal
technology for external storage devices, scan-
ners, CD-RW’s and many more.* To make
sure your USB 2.0 peripherals really fly, we’ve
even included high performance Adaptec USB
2.0 drivers for Windows98 SE, Windows Me,
Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
Includes Adaptec USBControl™ Utility
Take control of your USB configuration with
the Adaptec USBControl Utility. Its friendly
and intuitive interface tells you where all your
devices are connected and how they’re per-
forming, simplifies troubleshooting and more.
Enjoy USB’s plug-and-play advantage
The USB standard is simple and easy to use.
All you have to do is install the USB2Connect
card, the Adaptec USB 2.0 Windows drivers**,
and your system is ready to take advantage of
USB devices. The USB2Connect automatically
configures itself for USB 1.1 and USB 2.0
operation. Nothing could be easier to set up.
Works with current and future
USB devices
USB2Connect makes it easy to add the
peripherals you need. From thousands of
currently available USB 1.1 devices to new
high-performance USB 2.0 peripherals,
USB2Connect is designed for maximum
compatibility.
Trust the Adaptec name
When you’re getting started with a new high-
speed technology, you want to buy products
from a name you can trust. For more than 20
years, Adaptec has made advanced technologies
easy to use. Our cards are the standard that
peripheral manufacturers themselves use to
test the compatibility of new products. And
we back up our products with a five-year
hardware warranty plus our superior telephone
and online support.
* USB 1.1 devices cannot operate at USB 2.0 speeds even when
connected to a USB 2.0 hub or host adapter. USB 2.0 devices
connected through a USB 1.1 hub are limited to USB 1.1
speeds.
** Please check the Adaptec website (www.adaptec.com/usb) for
Macintosh driver support. At this time Apple does not support
USB 2.0 drivers. Without USB 2.0 drivers, the USB2Connect
will operate at USB 1.1 speeds.
