1. Introduction:
Thank you for purchasing a Kanguru Cable from Kanguru Solutions!
KanguruCables provide the true versatility of Kanguru products. Completely
interchangeable among our multi-interface products, they allow each product to, in
essence, connect to any computer! On one end, a special universal connector plugs into
the back of your Kanguru Device, and on the other end, a standard USB2, Firewire,
Cardbus/PCMCIA or Parallel connection.
Choose from one of our four cables to suit your needs:
USB2.0 -
Also referred to as USB2, this interface is an upgrade from standard USB1.1. It
provides external throughput comparable to Firewire and is backwards compatible with
USB1.1 ports. Very fast and hot swappable!
Firewire* -
Also referred to as IEEE & 1394, Firewire is a longstanding favorite of
people requiring fast throughput. Very fast and hot swappable!
*Note:
Our Firewire connection is a standard six pin female connection.
Cardbus/PCMCIA -
Great for Notebook users, this dual cable will work in either
Cardbus (32 bit) or PCMCIA (16 bit) mode. Just flick the micro switch to whichever
setting you prefer. Quick and hot swappable!
Parallel* -
Works with DOS and Win 95! (As well as others.) Great for older model
computers and imaging hard drives! Comes with printer pass through port.
*Note:
Parallel is not supported by our multi-interface 24x, 32x, or 40x CDRW
NOTE:
In order to reach USB 2.0 speed, you must have a computer or host adapter
card that has USB 2.0 support. This device will automatically sense the speed of
your USB port and adjust between USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 speed. If you do not have
USB 2.0 support, the device will work at USB 1.1 speeds. Kanguru Solutions carries
a wide variety of USB 2.0 PCI cards, adapters, and hubs should the need arise.
