USB 1.1 Ethernet Extender – 1-Port Black (USB110EXT2) StarTech.com – 131 ft Over Cat5/Cat6

The USB 1.1 Ethernet Extender allows users to extend USB 1.1 connections over long distances using standard Cat5 or Cat6 cables. This device is ideal for connecting USB peripherals like keyboards, mice, or cameras to a computer located far away, overcoming the typical 5-meter limitation of USB 1.1. It provides a reliable way to set up remote workstations or control systems without the need for additional power sources.

The extender is designed to be compact and portable, making it easy to install in tight spaces. It does not require external power, relying instead on the host computer’s USB port for both data and power. This makes it suitable for environments where access to electrical outlets is limited, such as industrial settings or temporary setups.

This device supports data transfer speeds of up to 12 Mbps, which aligns with the USB 1.1 standard. It can deliver up to 300 mA of power to connected devices, provided the host computer supplies at least 500 mA. This ensures that power-hungry peripherals can function properly over extended distances.

The extender is compatible with standard Cat5 or Cat6 UTP cabling, which is widely available and easy to install. It helps reduce cable clutter by replacing the need for multiple USB hubs or repeaters, simplifying network setups in both home and office environments.
