USB 2.0 over Cat5e/6 Extender for remote peripherals
This extender kit sends a USB 2.0 signal up to 165 ft over standard Cat5e or Cat6 cable. It is built for installers who need keyboards, mice, webcams or touch screens at a distance from the host PC. No driver installation is required on Windows, macOS, Android or Linux.
Two downstream ports with 480 Mbps headroom
The receiver provides two USB Type-A ports that share the 480 Mbps high-speed bandwidth. Typical HID devices, webcams and audio interfaces run comfortably within this limit. Bulk endpoints such as high-resolution video capture or fast external storage will saturate the link and may drop frames or throttle.
Power over cable with single adapter at receiver
Only the receiver unit needs the included power adapter; the transmitter draws its power over the same Cat cable. The link is specified to 130 ft (40 m) for reliable operation, beyond which signal integrity degrades. The units are passively cooled and produce no audible noise in normal use.

Questions about this item
Will this USB 2.0 extender work with my older USB 1.1 keyboard and mouse at the full 130-foot range?
Yes, the extender supports High-Speed USB 2.0 up to 480 Mbps and is backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices. The maximum transmission distance is 130 feet (40 meters) over Cat5e/6 cable.
How can I verify the link is active and passing data after I connect the transmitter and receiver units?
Connect a USB device such as a keyboard or webcam to the receiver's two ports. If the device enumerates on the host PC and functions normally — typing, video feed, or LED indicators — the extension link is working as intended.
What comes in the box and do I need to buy a separate Cat5e/6 cable?
The package includes the transmitter unit, receiver unit, one power adapter for the RX end, mounting ears, and an instruction manual. A Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable up to 130 feet must be purchased separately.
