Tripp Lite USB over Cat5/Cat6 Extender Kit 4-Port Industrial USB 2.0 w ESD

Features

Industrial-Grade Extender Connects Your Computer to a USB Device up to 150 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 devices located up to 150 feet (45 meters) away. The B203-104-IND includes a local transmitter and a remote receiver that extends USB 2.0 signals over user-supplied Cat5/6 cabling (such as Tripp Lite's N202-Series Cat6 Ethernet cables).

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.

With Great Distance Comes Great Flexibility

By extending the USB connection beyond the standard 16-foot distance limitation to 150 feet, the B203-104-IND provides workstation flexibility to place your computer and the USB devices where they are best suited. This extender kit supports USB 2.0 data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps and is backward compatible with USB 1.1 technology, allowing you to connect legacy devices. No network connectivity is needed.

Plug-and-Play Kit Offers Flexible Power and Installation Options

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 Cat5/6 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 is included for connecting external power to the unit as needed.

TAA-Compliant for GSA Schedule Purchases
