5-Port USB Hub
Features
• Interface a variety of GPIB, RS-232,
and USB devices to complete your
test system
• Extend USB devices beyond five
meters
• USB ports appear to be locally

computer
Best for
• Remote access to USB ports—
devices or instruments
Connect remote USB, GPIB or
RS-232 instruments or devices via
a standard LAN
The Agilent E5813A networked 5-port
USB hub uses LAN technology to over-
come the 5-meter distance limitation
for USB cabling, so you can place USB
devices anywhere on a LAN network.
With access to remote devices, you can
collect data, perform measurements,
or monitor the progress of your tests.
Using the included IO Libraries Suite,
you can connect an Agilent 82357A
USB/GPIB interface to one of the USB
ports for access to GPIB devices. You
also can connect an E5805A USB/
4-port RS-232 interface for access to
RS-232 devices (see figure on page 7).
To prevent access conflicts, only one
computer at a time can access the
E5813A. The included software lets
you lock the E5813A to your computer.
Once you unlock the connection,
another user can then connect from
a different computer.
For information on choosing between
E5810A and E5813A see page 7.
