Four-port USB 2.0 extension over Cat5/6

The StarTech.com USB2004EXTV kit moves four USB 2.0 connections up to 130 ft (40 m) from the host computer using a single Cat5 or Cat6 cable. It comprises a local transmitter that plugs into the host via Mini-USB and a remote receiver with four Type-A ports for keyboards, mice, printers or other peripherals. The system is OS independent and supports plug-and-play hot-swap operation.

Sustained throughput within USB 2.0 limits

Under continuous use the link delivers up to 480 Mbps, the native ceiling of the USB 2.0 specification, without the bandwidth drops sometimes seen on longer passive cables. Both extender units are powered by the included universal adapter, so the remote hub can supply bus power to attached devices even during extended sessions. The compact enclosures measure 0.9 in by 2.00 in by 3.10 in and weigh 0.72 lb each.

Distance and cabling constraints

The 130 ft maximum applies only when solid-conductor Cat5 UTP or better is used; stranded patch cables or lower-grade wiring will reduce the reliable range. A single RJ-45 link carries all four ports, so no extra Ethernet drops are required, but the single-cable design means total bandwidth is shared among the connected devices. Buyers needing longer runs, higher speeds or isolated power for each port will need a different architecture.

Questions about this item

Does the STARTECH USB2004EXTV generate noticeable heat or noise when the remote hub runs continuously with four devices attached?

The extender has no fan or moving parts, so it runs silently. The local and remote units are compact plastic enclosures that stay cool under normal USB 2.0 loads.

What must I already own to connect the STARTECH USB2004EXTV to my computer and reach the full 130 ft distance?

You need a free USB Type-A port on the host computer. The kit supplies the Mini-USB to USB-A cable, one RJ45 patch cable, and the universal power adapter for the remote hub.

Will USB 1.1 peripherals such as an older keyboard or mouse work through the STARTECH USB2004EXTV alongside newer USB 2.0 devices?

Yes. The extender is USB 2.0 compliant and backward compatible with USB 1.1 low-speed and full-speed devices, so legacy peripherals operate normally on any of the four Type-A ports.
