Tripp Lite 1-Port USB Over Cat5 / Cat6 Ethernet Cable Extender, Transmitter and Receiver
Standard USB patch cords run out of reach quickly when a printer, scanner, or drive lives across the office. We built this transmitter and receiver set to bridge that distance over common category cabling without adding extra AC adapters to your wall. It ties distant workstations together using lines you can pull through drywall and conduit.

How this one is built
Bus powered operation
The transmitter draws its current directly from the host computer port. You do not need to hunt down an open wall socket or fish another bulky power supply behind the desk to keep the link active.
Category cable link
Your run uses standard twisted-pair Ethernet line between the two ends. It pulls cleanly through raceway, drops down inside hollow office walls, and snaps securely into modular jacks along the route.
Hardware handshake
Signals travel across the copper pair without special software drivers or configuration utilities. The operating system sees your peripheral directly once both ends click home into their respective ports.
Compact housings
Small dongle ends tuck out of sight behind the tower chassis and the peripheral base. They sit flat against back panels and do not crowd adjacent interface slots on your machine.
