USB 1.1 Extender for Two Devices

This extender carries USB 1.1 signals up to 328 ft over a single CATx cable. It connects two peripherals such as keyboards, mice, printers, webcams or interactive whiteboards. The unit is bus powered and needs no external AC adapter at either end. It is suited for industrial, classroom or meeting-room installations.

Suitable for Low-Speed and Full-Speed USB 1.1 gear

Installers who need reliable 12-Mbps or 1.5-Mbps links beyond the standard 16-ft limit will find this extender fits the task. It works with Windows, Mac OS X and Linux without extra drivers. Buyers who need USB 2.0 High-Speed throughput for video capture or bulk storage should look at a different solution. Anyone requiring more than two downstream ports must choose another product.

328 ft over CATx cable

The defining specification is the 328-ft (100 m) extension distance over standard CATx cabling. This single figure decides whether the extender reaches the required location. The link operates at USB 1.1 Low-Speed (1.5 Mbps) and Full-Speed (12 Mbps) rates only.

Questions about this item

Will the local or remote unit need a power supply replacement down the line?

The extender is bus powered and needs no external AC adapter at either end, so no power supply will ever need replacing.

What bandwidth ceiling will limit sustained throughput on the link?

The link tops out at Full-Speed 12 Mbps, so any continuous traffic above that rate will be the first bottleneck.

How much heat or fan noise will the remote unit add when running all day?

With no fan and only 500 mA drawn from the bus, the remote unit stays cool and silent during continuous operation.
