Tripp Lite 1-Port USB Over Cat5 / Cat6 Ethernet Cable Extender, Transmitter and Receiver
Standard USB cords drop signal fast over long spans. This kit splits into a transmitter and receiver, using common network patch cabling to bridge the distance. It runs directly on bus power from the source, so you do not have to hunt for wall outlets near your remote hardware.

How this one is built
Bus power setup
Power draws directly from the host USB port through the transmitter. You do not need to route extra power bricks or run extension cords out to the receiver end just to keep the link active.
Patch cable link
The extender pair connects over standard twisted-pair network cable that you supply. Terminated copper patch cords pull easily through raceways or conduit, connecting the local sender to the far terminal without specialized wiring tools.
Hardware compatibility
The setup handles standard USB transfer rates for keyboards, mice, printers, and scanners. Plug the hardware in at both ends and the host machine recognizes the peripheral without extra software drivers or complicated configuration.
Compact housing finish
The black shells sit flat on a desk or mount tucked behind equipment. Solid molded strain relief keeps the short USB tails from pinching where they meet the transmitter and receiver blocks during installation.
On the nameplate
These are the figures published for this unit. Where a number is missing here it was not printed on the listing, and we would rather leave the row out than fill it with a guess.
