Switch Info What is the difference between the hand switches and the foot switches?

The only difference between the hand switches and the foot switches is that the foot switches have a stiffer spring. The switches can operate in any position, so for example if the user wanted to attach the switches to a flat vertical surface (such as a desk leg) they will still function.

* Can I use a USB extension cable on the AbleTrack?

Yes. The maximum length of a USB cable is 16 feet (5.0 meters). Since the AbleTrack cable is 5 feet long an extension cable of up to 11 feet is ok.

This is because a longer cable may cause a delay or error in data transmission. The cable length is limited by a cable delay spec of 26 ns (nano seconds) to allow for reflections to settle at the transmitter before the next bit is sent Since a USB cable has a delay of about 5 ns per meter of cable then a cable of of up to 5 meters (26 ns/5ns) can be used.
If you must have a cable over 16 feet you could use a USB bridge that acts as a USB Hub device on one end and has a USB host controller at the other end. Some of these devices use fiber optics(USB Ranger 422) but any xfer device/protocal for long distance can be used within that devices capabilities eg satellite, fiber optic, IR etc...

* Can I use switches from other companies with the AbleTrack?

Yes you can use any normally open switch with the AbleTrack. Note however that switches from a different company may have a smaller 2.5mm (3/32 inch) jack so an adapter with a 2.5mm female plug connector on one end and a 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) male jack connector on the other end may be needed. You can use either a mono or stereo adapter as either will work with the AbleTrack.

Typical 2.5mm to 3.5mm stereo adapter that can be used with the AbleTrack
