v AV Access U2EX60 USB 2.0 extender over Ethernet 60 m 4 ports

USB 2.0 extender with 60 m reach

This USB 2.0 extender kit transmits data up to 480 Mbps over a single Cat5e/6/6a/7 cable to a distance of 60 m. It provides four USB ports for peripherals such as keyboards, mice, printers, scanners, cameras or game controllers. The metal construction houses a one-way Power over Cable function that supplies the receiver from the transmitter side, so only one power adapter is needed. Plug-and-play operation requires no drivers on any supported operating system.

Suits remote USB peripherals.

The extender is ideal for placing USB devices far from the host computer in home offices, classrooms or light-industrial settings where AC power is unavailable at the remote end. Buyers who need to power high-current USB devices solely from the receiver port should look elsewhere, as the receiver draws its power from the transmitter over the Ethernet cable. The four ports share the USB 2.0 bandwidth, so applications demanding the full 480 Mbps on every port simultaneously will not be satisfied.

480 Mbps USB 2.0 bandwidth over Cat cable

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 2.0 data rate of 480 Mbps carried over Cat5e/6/6a/7 cabling up to 60 m, with HID signals reaching 80 m. If the application requires USB 3.0 or higher throughput, this extender will not meet the need. For USB 2.0 peripherals within the stated distance, the link delivers stable, zero-latency performance with a single power connection at the transmitter.
