USB 2.0 Extender over Cat5e Cat6

This powered USB 2.0 extender transmits signals up to 165ft over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable. It provides four USB 2.0 ports at the receiver end for connecting peripherals such as webcams, storage drives, keyboards and mice. The system is compatible with Windows, MacOS, Android and Linux without requiring driver installation. It supports data rates up to 480Mbps and maintains backward compatibility with USB 1.1 devices.

Metal enclosure with lockable DC power

The transmitter unit draws power directly from the host USB port while the receiver uses an included lockable 5V 3A DC adapter for stable operation. A 1.5 metre USB-A to USB-B cable connects the transmitter to the host computer. The solid metal construction allows easy mounting and the 15W power budget supports bus-powered devices like hard drives and dual webcams simultaneously.

Check host power and cabling before ordering

Ensure the host USB port can supply sufficient current for the transmitter and verify that a Cat5e or Cat6 cable run of up to 50 metres is available between locations. The receiver requires a mains outlet for its dedicated power adapter. Confirm your peripherals operate within the USB 2.0 480Mbps bandwidth limit and that any dual-webcam setup uses compatible synchronisation software.
