Introduction

The StarTech.com USB 2.0 extender over Cat5 or Cat6 offers a

simple USB extension, allowing you to place four USB 2.0 devices

up to 100m/330ft away from the computer, which is more than 20

times longer than the normal USB cable length restrictions. The USB

extender is comprised of both the Local and Remote units, which

can be connected together using standard UTP Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6

Ethernet cabling. Supporting full Hi-Speed USB 2.0 data transfer

speeds up to 480Mbps, the extender is also backward compatible with

USB 1.0/1.1 (1.1Mbps/12Mbps respectively).

Installation

Hardware Installation

Driver Installation

The USB Extender itself does not require a driver installation for

any operating system that supports USB. The USB Extender is a

pass-through hub, so is only seen as a standard Generic USB hub.

Drivers will still be required for any USB peripherals connected to the

extenders.

NOTE: A additional level of USB hubs can be used on the USB

extender (one hub per port), to provide additional USB ports. An

externally powered USB hub is recommended.

Wiring Diagram

The USB Extender uses all four pairs of wires in the UTP cable, so

either T568A or T568B termination can be used. Both ends of the

cable must use the same termination.
