USRobotics 568602 56K V.90 X2 Technology External Faxmodem Add

Product Description

The USRobotics 568602 is an external dial-up modem that offers high-speed data and fax capabilities, leveraging the V.90 standard for maximum download speeds of up to 56 Kbps. It also incorporates support for USRobotics' proprietary X2 technology, which was an earlier high-speed modem protocol that offered similar performance benefits before V.90 became the industry standard. This dual support ensures compatibility with a wider range of dial-up internet service providers and networks from its era. Designed for ease of use, the 568602 connects to a computer's serial port (typically a DB9 connector) and requires an external power supply. Its external form factor makes it suitable for users who prefer not to install internal cards or who need to share the modem between multiple computers. The modem includes standard RJ-11 telephone line connectors for connecting to a phone line and a second RJ-11 port for connecting a telephone to share the line. Beyond its data capabilities, the 568602 functions as a faxmodem, allowing users to send and receive faxes directly from their computer at speeds up to 14.4 Kbps. It typically comes with software for managing dial-up connections and fax operations. This modem represents a reliable solution for accessing the internet or sending faxes via dial-up connections, particularly for users in areas where broadband internet is unavailable or for legacy system requirements.
