Single-Port USB 2.0 Extender Kit

This StarTech.com USB2001EXTV kit extends a single USB 2.0 connection up to 165 feet (50 m) over Cat5 or Cat6 cabling. The metal-housed local and remote units are OS independent, require no drivers, and support transfer rates up to 480 Mbps. A universal power adapter, USB cable, RJ45 cable, rubber feet, and quick-start guide are included.

Installers needing remote device placement

Technicians and integrators who must locate a USB 2.0 peripheral far from the host computer will find this compact, cost-effective kit suitable. Users requiring multiple USB ports, longer reach than 165 feet, or USB 3.0 and higher bandwidth should consider a different solution.

480 Mbps maximum data rate

The extender delivers USB 2.0 Hi-Speed performance at up to 480 Mbps across the full 50 m link. If the connected device demands SuperSpeed or SuperSpeed+ throughput, this kit will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

What category cable do I need to reach the 165 ft distance?

Use Cat 5 UTP or better cabling between the local and remote units to achieve the full 165 ft extension.

Will this extender work with USB 1.1 peripherals I still use?

Yes, the USB 2.0 interface is backward compatible, so USB 1.1 devices operate at their native speed through the extender.

How can I confirm the link is active after connecting everything?

The remote unit powers your USB device and data flows at up to 480 Mbps; verify by checking that the peripheral is recognised and transfers files normally.
