StarTech USB2004EXT100 4-Port USB 2.0 Extender Kit
Overview
The StarTech USB2004EXT100 is a 4-port USB 2.0 extender kit designed to overcome the standard 16-foot USB limitation. It allows you to connect and operate up to four remote USB devices up to 330 feet (100 meters) away from the host computer, utilizing standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cabling. This is critical for deploying USB peripherals like keyboards, mice, webcams, or specialized industrial sensors in environments where the host PC must remain in a secure or climate-controlled location, such as a server room or control cabinet.
Compatibility
This extender kit supports USB 2.0 speeds up to 480 Mbps, ensuring sufficient bandwidth for most standard USB devices. It is compatible with any operating system that supports USB 2.0, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. The kit includes both a local unit (connected to the host PC) and a remote unit (connected to the USB devices), linked by a single Cat5e/Cat6 cable. It is designed for use with standard USB 2.0 devices and is not intended for USB 3.0 or higher speeds.
Installation Notes
Requires a single Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable (sold separately) for connection between the local and remote units. Ensure the Ethernet cable is run according to standard networking practices to maintain signal integrity over the maximum distance. The local unit connects to the host computer via a standard USB A-to-B cable (included), and the remote unit provides four USB A ports for device connection. Power is supplied via an included AC adapter for the remote unit, ensuring stable operation of connected peripherals.
