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.
