Installers needing remote device placement
Technicians and integrators who must locate a USB 2.0 peripheral far from the host computer will find this compact, cost-effective kit suitable. Users requiring multiple USB ports, longer reach than 165 feet, or USB 3.0 and higher bandwidth should consider a different solution.
480 Mbps maximum data rate
The extender delivers USB 2.0 Hi-Speed performance at up to 480 Mbps across the full 50 m link. If the connected device demands SuperSpeed or SuperSpeed+ throughput, this kit will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item
What category cable do I need to reach the 165 ft distance?
Use Cat 5 UTP or better cabling between the local and remote units to achieve the full 165 ft extension.
Will this extender work with USB 1.1 peripherals I still use?
Yes, the USB 2.0 interface is backward compatible, so USB 1.1 devices operate at their native speed through the extender.
How can I confirm the link is active after connecting everything?
The remote unit powers your USB device and data flows at up to 480 Mbps; verify by checking that the peripheral is recognised and transfers files normally.
