Tripp Lite USB Over Cat5/Cat6 Extender Kit 1-Port with PoC USB 2.0 164 ft. (B203-101-POC)
Standard USB cords drop off fast once you leave the desk surface. We built this transmitter and receiver pair to carry peripheral signals across building copper to remote workbenches, interactive displays, or point of sale counters. The link shares power across the patch run, so you only plug into wall power on one side.

How this one is built
Single power connection
Power travels across the twisted-pair cable straight to the receiver unit. That leaves the far end uncluttered, which helps when mounting hardware near a display or inside a podium where wall outlets are scarce.
Twisted-pair extension
Standard copper patch cabling bridges the distance between the local computer and remote hardware. The setup takes advantage of existing structured wiring runs already punched down through walls and ceiling drops.
Operating system support
The hardware communicates across major platforms without driver discs or extra software packages. Plug the transmitter into the host machine and the link starts passing traffic immediately.
Hardware hookup
Connect the local box to the computer, run patch cable to the far unit, and plug in your peripherals. Solid metal housings take everyday knocks in busy utility rooms and under active desks.
