USB 2.0 over Cat5e/Cat6 Extender Kit

The StarTech USB2001EXT2NA kit extends a USB 2.0 connection up to 100 metres (330 feet) using standard Cat5e or Cat6 cabling. It delivers Hi-Speed USB performance with data bandwidth up to 480 Mbps and requires no software installation. The durable metal housing and included surface-mounting bracket suit business or industrial environments. It is backward compatible with USB 1.0 peripherals.

Plug-and-play installation

The extender offers simple plug-and-play setup; connect the local and remote units with an Ethernet cable and attach your USB device. For bus-powered devices that need the full 500 mA supply, an external power adapter must be added at the remote end — omitting it is the most common reason a device fails to enumerate. The metal enclosures mount securely with the supplied brackets.

Check cable type, distance and device power needs

Before ordering, verify you have Cat5e, Cat6 or Cat7 solid-core Ethernet cable rated for the full run length; stranded patch cords may not reach 100 metres reliably. Confirm whether your USB peripheral draws more than 500 mA, as the extender cannot supply additional current. Ensure the remote location has a power outlet if the device requires the external adapter.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the USB 2.0 extender is delivering Hi-Speed 480 Mbps performance after installation?

Connect a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 device at the remote end and verify the host computer enumerates it at 480 Mbps in Device Manager or System Information.

What does the USB2001EXT2NA kit include and what must be sourced separately?

The kit provides the local and remote extender units, a surface-mounting bracket kit and plug-and-play operation. An external power adapter at the remote end is required to supply the full 500 mA for bus-powered devices.

Should I choose Cat5e, Cat6 or Cat7 cabling for the 100 m (330 ft) USB 2.0 extension?

All three cable types support the full 100-metre distance; Cat5e is sufficient for 480 Mbps USB 2.0 traffic, while Cat6 or Cat7 provide additional margin for future upgrades.
