USB CAT.5e Extender to 198 ft

The IOGEAR GUCE51 is a two-unit adapter set that uses Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 cabling to extend USB peripherals up to 198 feet from the host computer. It provides transparent data extension for USB 1.0 and 1.1 devices without requiring any software installation. The compact local and remote units allow for easy placement in office or industrial settings.

Suits USB 1.0 or 1.1 devices at distance

This extender works for keyboards, mice, printers, or other low-speed peripherals that must operate far from the PC. It is not for USB 2.0 or higher devices that need greater bandwidth, nor for buyers who need wireless connectivity or Power over Ethernet support. Mac users require OS 8.6 or later, while PC users need Windows 98 SE, 2000, ME, or XP.

Extends USB 1.0 and 1.1 signals 198 ft

The decisive specification is the 198-foot reach over standard Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 RJ45 cabling while maintaining full compliance with USB 1.0 and 1.1 standards. If your peripheral and host both operate at these speeds, the GUCE51 delivers a reliable wired link without drivers.

Questions about this item

Does the GUCE51 include the Cat5e cable needed to reach 198 feet?

The package supplies both the Local and Remote extender units only. You must purchase Cat5, Cat5e or Cat6 RJ45 cabling separately to span the distance.

Should I pick the GUCE51 or a different model for a 198-foot USB 1.1 link?

The GUCE51 is specified for exactly that range and complies with USB 1.0 and 1.1. Choose it when you need transparent extension up to 198 feet over standard twisted-pair cable.

Will a USB 1.1 webcam still deliver its full frame rate through the 198-foot GUCE51 link?

The extender provides transparent data extension for USB 1.0 and 1.1 devices, so the webcam operates at its native 1.1 bandwidth across the Cat5e run.
