USB 2.0 over CATx extender

The Black Box IC400A-R2 extends USB 1.0 or 2.0 signals up to 330 feet over standard CATx cable. It provides four downstream USB ports for remote devices such as printers, scanners, hard drives, webcams and touch screens. The system operates at up to 480 Mbps and supports all USB transfer types including control, interrupt, bulk and isochronous endpoints. No driver installation is required on Windows, Mac OS or Linux.

Thermals noise and power draw

The extender set includes a local module, a remote module, a two-metre USB cable and a dedicated power adapter for the remote unit. Both modules are passively cooled with no moving parts, so operation is silent in normal use. The remote module draws power from the supplied adapter rather than the host USB bus. The entire kit weighs 3.1 lb and fits in a compact 1 by 3.9 by 3 inch enclosure.

Replaces direct USB cables and short repeaters

This kit replaces a direct USB cable run when the device must sit farther than the standard five-metre limit. It also upgrades from single-port repeaters by providing four ports at the remote end. The jump is worth it when you need reliable high-speed USB 2.0 connectivity at distances up to 100 metres without installing custom drivers or software.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the local and remote extender modules using CATx cable, and which step do installers often miss?

Run a standard CATx UTP cable between the two RJ-45 ports on the local and remote modules, then attach the 2-meter USB cable to the local module and the host PC, and plug the power adapter into the remote module — the step most often missed is powering the remote extender before linking the USB devices.

What part will need replacement first if the remote extender loses power delivery to its four downstream USB ports?

The remote extender module power adapter is the only field-replaceable power component; if the four USB ports stop receiving power, swap the adapter with a matching 5 V unit.

At what distance does signal degradation appear first when running USB 2.0 isochronous traffic at 480 Mbps over the CATx link?

The extender is rated for 328 ft (100 m) over CATx UTP; sustained 480 Mbps isochronous streams may show errors first as you approach that maximum distance.
