Tripp Lite USB Over Cat6 Extender Industrial 1-Port ESD Protection PoC TAA (B203-101-IND-ER)
Industrial spaces rarely put the terminal next to the work surface. We built this metal transmitter and receiver pair to carry USB signals over ordinary network cabling across a room or along a shop floor. Power rides the copper run directly, so you only plug in one end.
Price as our retail partner last listed it. They set it and they can change it, so the figure on their page 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
Solid metal housings
Factory dust and rough handling break plastic adapters quickly. Both chassis are heavy metal, built to take knocks on a warehouse floor or ride quietly inside a dusty utility room without cracking.
Power over copper
Running extension cords across high-traffic floors creates clutter. Built-in power delivery sends operating current through the network line to the opposite unit, leaving wall space open for other gear.
Electrostatic discharge defense
Shop machinery and dry air create static that threatens unshielded electronics. Built-in ESD protection helps isolate connected webcams, hard drives and printers from static hits on the floor.
Flexible mounting hardware
The transmitter and receiver sit flat on a bench, screw directly to a wall, or snap onto standard DIN rails. Indicator lights on each chassis confirm power and active data flow at a glance.
