USB 1.1 CAT5 Extender 1-Port

This single-port extender transmits USB 1.1 signals over standard CAT5 cable up to 131 feet. It enables remote placement of keyboards, mice, interactive whiteboards, and game controllers away from the host computer. The unit delivers up to 400mA of power to the connected peripheral. No software drivers are required for basic operation.

CAT5 cabling and 400mA power delivery

Using inexpensive CAT5 infrastructure replaces a direct USB cable run and supports low-speed HID devices at distances up to 279 feet. The extender supplies up to 400mA, allowing many bus-powered devices to operate without a local power adapter. It passes USB 2.0 traffic at a maximum of 12 Mbps and low-speed USB 1.1 at 1.5 Mbps.

Suits classrooms and signage needing remote HID

Ideal for installations where a keyboard, mouse, or touch panel must sit far from the PC, such as digital signage, meeting rooms, or industrial workstations. Not suited for high-bandwidth peripherals like webcams, storage drives, or audio interfaces that exceed 12 Mbps. Buyers needing to extend multiple devices simultaneously should look at a multi-port solution.

Questions about this item

Does the extender's 400mA power output limit which USB devices I can connect?

The unit supplies up to 400mA to the attached device. Peripherals that draw more current than this will not operate reliably through the extender.

At what distance does the 12 Mbps USB 2.0 signal stop being supported?

USB 2.0 at 12 Mbps is supported up to 131 feet (40 meters). Beyond that range only low-speed 1.5 Mbps devices such as keyboards or mice are guaranteed, reaching up to 279 feet (85 meters).

Will the CAT5 extender itself add noticeable heat or fan noise during all-day use?

The extender is a passive unit with no fan; it generates minimal heat and runs silently even during continuous operation.
