This USB 2.0 extender hub allows you to connect up to four USB devices over a distance of 330 feet using standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables. It is designed for industrial environments and provides high-speed data transfer of up to 480 Mbps, making it ideal for connecting remote devices like printers, cameras, and keyboards. The extender includes LED indicators to monitor power, link status, and host activity, ensuring reliable performance in demanding settings.
The extender features a durable extruded aluminum housing that resists wear and tear, making it suitable for use in harsh industrial conditions. It also includes mounting brackets for easy installation on surfaces. The device offers ESD protection up to 8kV contact and 16kV air discharge, safeguarding connected equipment from electrostatic damage. This makes it a reliable choice for environments where static electricity is a concern.
The extender is externally powered, with the remote receiver hub providing 5V and 500mA of power per port when using the included power adapter. This ensures that even power-hungry USB devices can function properly at the remote end. The local transmitter is powered through the host computer's USB port, simplifying setup. It supports plug-and-play installation with no software required, and it is compatible with major operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
This device is ideal for IT professionals who need to connect USB peripherals in locations far from the host computer. It can be used in office settings to extend access to shared devices or in industrial environments where equipment must be placed at a distance from the control system. The extender is also backward compatible with USB 1.0 and 1.1 devices, ensuring compatibility with older peripherals.
