Tripp Lite USB Over Cat6 Extender Industrial 1-Port ESD Protection PoC TAA (B203-101-IND-ER)
Industrial spaces rarely put the workstation right next to the hardware it needs to talk to. We built this transmitter and receiver pair to stretch a USB link across long distances over standard copper patching. Tough metal enclosures handle the bumps of a shop floor, and power moves right through the network run so you need fewer wall adapters.
Price as the listing last showed it. Listings move, so the figure on the page you land on is the one that counts at checkout.
- INDUSTRIAL-GRADE EXTENDER CONNECTS YOUR COMPUTER TO A USB DEVICE UP TO 330 FT AWAY: This plug-and-play extender kit with heavy-duty all-metal housings is ideal for connecting your office computer’s USB-A port to a printer, 1080p webcam, external hard drive or other USB device located up to 330 feet (100 meters) away. The B203-101-IND-ER includes a local transmitter and a remote receiver that extends USB 2.0 signals over user-supplied Cat6 cabling (such as Tripp Lite’s N202-Series Cat6 Ethernet cables).
- BUILT-IN POWER OVER CABLE TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES POWER TO AVOID BULKY BRICKS: PoC powers the transmitter over Cat6 cable. Green and orange LEDs on both units will light up to indicate they are receiving power and data is being transmitted. PoC gives you the freedom to place the transmitter or receiver away from AC outlets, avoiding the hassle of running new power lines and multiple bulky power bricks
- PROTECTS YOUR DEVICES AGAINST ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD): Machines on the shop floor can generate electrostatic discharges, wiping out data and damaging sensitive electronics. This extender kit provides ESD protection to ±15 kV, reducing potential static damage to your connected USB peripherals. The durable metal transmitter and receiver units withstand harsh physical conditions in industrial and commercial applications, such as factories, construction sites, supply rooms and warehouses.
- PLUG AND PLAY: With user-supplied USB cables, connect the transmitter to your computer and the receiver to your USB peripheral. Connect the transmitter and receiver with a user-supplied Cat6 cable (all cables sold separately). The extender kit requires no software to download and install. The metal chassis rest easily on any flat surface or mount to a wall or DIN rail using the included hardware. A power supply with international plug adapters, as well as a RS-232 Phoenix adapter supporting a DC voltage range from 9-36V, are included for connecting external power to the unit as needed.
How this one is built
All metal construction
The enclosures are built from solid metal rather than plastic. They take the knocks, scrapes, and vibration found around machinery, assembly tables, or warehouse shelving without cracking.
Power over cable
Power travels directly through the copper link between the units. That keeps bulky power supplies away from the remote drop, leaving room on your power strips for other equipment.
Static discharge handling
Shop floors generate static around moving machinery and conveyor belts. Built-in electrostatic discharge protection helps isolate your connected peripherals from stray voltage jumps across the link.
Mounting on surfaces
Each chassis is ready to sit on a workbench or secure against a flat wall. The kit includes hardware for clipping straight onto a standard DIN rail inside an industrial cabinet.
