StarTech USB2001EXT2NA USB 2.0 Extender
Overview
The StarTech USB2001EXT2NA provides a robust solution for extending USB 2.0 connectivity up to 330 feet (100 meters) over standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cabling. This is critical for deploying USB devices like cameras, printers, or data loggers in locations beyond the standard 15-foot USB limit, such as in industrial environments, large offices, or security installations where the host PC must remain in a controlled area. The extender maintains the full 480 Mbps data transfer rate of USB 2.0, ensuring performance for demanding peripherals.
Compatibility
This extender is compatible with any USB 2.0 device and host system. It requires Cat5e UTP cabling or better for optimal performance. The local unit connects to the host PC via a USB B port, and the remote unit provides a USB Type-A port for the peripheral. It supports a maximum data transfer rate of 480 Mbps, consistent with USB 2.0 specifications.
Installation Notes
The system consists of a local and a remote unit, connected by a single Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cable. Both units require power via the included AC adapter, which outputs 5V DC at 3A, supporting up to 18 Watts of power consumption. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), suitable for most indoor commercial environments. The units are constructed from aluminum for durability.
