1. Introduction

The USB Direct Connect provides a convenient way to connect stand-alone PCs and gain the

benefits of networking without having to install network cards. Two or more USB computers can

share programs, files, peripheral equipment and more. The USB Direct Connect is ideal for small

offices, home users, multiplayer gaming, and taking work on the road.

3. Network Topology

The USB Direct Connect can be used to connect two or more computers. There is a maximum

distance limit between computers, or hosts, of 1 0 meters. This limit is due to the USB cable

length maximum of 5 meters. Therefore each host can be up to 5 meters away from the USB

Direct Connect. Figure 1 below shows the different ways that the USB Direct Connect(s) can be

connected to host computers.

Figure 1. Network Topology

Note from the “Tree” Configuration in the previous section that it is possible to connect more

than two USB Direct Connects to a host, however, only eight USB Direct Connects may be

connected per host.

Another restriction is the following: the hosts must NEVER be connected in such a way that any

two hosts in the network have more than one USB Direct Connect connecting them. Doing this

will form a “ring” which will crash the network. Figure 2 below illustrates what not to do.

Figure 2. How NOT to connect a USB Direct Connect

In this diagram the USB Direct Connect that connects the laptop back to the first computer will

cause the network to crash.
