LINDY USB 2.0 CAT5 Extender - 50 Meter USB Extension Over Network Cable With Power Over CAT5

About This Product

The LINDY USB 2.0 CAT5 Extender is seriously clever technology for when you need to place USB devices far from your computer! It extends USB connections up to 50 meters (that's over 160 feet!) using standard CAT5/5e/6 network cables. The system consists of two units - a local transmitter that connects to your computer and a remote receiver where you plug in your USB devices. What's really convenient is the Power over CAT5 feature - you only need one power supply connected to the transmitter unit, and it powers both the receiver and your connected USB devices through the network cable. This means no hunting for power outlets near your remote devices! It supports USB 2.0 High Speed (480 Mbps) as well as USB 1.1 Full Speed and Low Speed devices. Installation is truly plug-and-play - it works with any operating system that has USB support, no special drivers needed. Both units have integrated mounting brackets, making permanent installations neat and professional-looking. The package includes everything you need except the network cable and batteries - you get the extender set, a multi-country power supply, and a USB cable. It's perfect for situations like extending USB security cameras to remote locations, placing printers far from workstations, connecting USB devices in server rooms, or any scenario where you need USB connectivity beyond the standard cable limits. The 2-year warranty gives you peace of mind about the quality. Just remember that for high-bandwidth devices like HD webcams, they recommend their Pro model, but for most peripherals like printers, scanners, or keyboards, this standard extender works flawlessly. It's one of those solutions that seems like magic until you try it, then you wonder how you ever managed without this capability!
