USB Extender over Cat5e Cat6 RJ45 Extension Adapter Set up to 60m

Standard USB cables are limited to 5 metres for USB 2.0 and even shorter for USB 3.0 without active extension. Where a USB device needs to operate at a greater distance from the connected computer, display, or access control device, a USB extender over Cat5e or Cat6 provides the practical solution using the building’s existing Ethernet cable infrastructure.

The transmitter and receiver set is self-contained: the transmitter connects to the USB host port, the receiver connects to the USB device at the remote end, and the Cat5e or Cat6 cable runs between them. No additional power source is required at the remote receiver end in most standard configurations, as power is carried from the host via the Cat cable.

Typical security and AV system applications include: extending a USB keyboard or mouse to a remote KVM position, connecting a USB RFID reader, proximity card reader, or fingerprint reader to an access control device at distance, extending a USB webcam to a room position from a PC or recorder in a separate cabinet, and connecting USB storage devices to a recorder or server in a remote head-end location.

For security system installers, AV integrators, and IT installers across London and the UK who need to extend USB connectivity over existing Cat5e or Cat6 cable runs without installing additional cabling, the TM-100 USB extender set provides the adapter pair for this application.
