USB 2.0 over Cat5/Cat6 Extender Kit

The Tripp Lite B203-101-PNP extends a USB 2.0 connection up to 164 feet using a single Cat5 or Cat6 cable. It includes a local transmitter with a built-in USB cable and a remote receiver with one USB-A port. The kit is designed for connecting a single peripheral to a computer at distances beyond standard cable limits. Plug-and-play operation requires no drivers for Windows, Mac or Chromebook systems.

Maximum 164-foot extension distance

The extender transmits USB signals up to 164 feet (50 metres) over user-supplied Category 5 or Category 6 cabling. This distance rating determines whether the kit suits a specific installation such as a conference room, classroom or digital signage run. Data rates reach up to 480 Mbps across the link. If the cable run exceeds this length, the device will not function as specified.

Powered receiver with external supply

The remote receiver draws power from an included external adapter rated for 100-240V input and 5V 2A output. The transmitter is bus-powered from the host USB port, adding no extra outlet requirement at the source end. Both units are passively cooled with no moving parts, so they operate silently in typical office or AV environments. Power consumption remains low during normal data transfer.

Questions about this item

What does the 480 Mbps figure mean when the kit is connected in a real machine?

The link supports USB 2.0 hi-speed signalling up to 480 Mbps, so devices such as printers, scanners or storage drives operate at their normal rated speed across the 164 ft extension.

Which cable standard is used and what does it limit in practice?

A single user-supplied Cat5 or Cat6 patch cord carries the USB signals; the 164 ft (50 m) maximum reach is set by the Ethernet cable length, not by the USB specification itself.

What does the receiver need for power and how is it mounted?

The remote receiver ships with an external 5 V 2 A supply on a 4.5 ft lead (NEMA 1-15P plug); the transmitter draws power from the host USB port, so no extra outlet is needed at the computer end.
