Startech.com Startech - 4-Port USB 3.0 Extender over Ethernet up to 330ft via Cat6a/Cat7/Cat8 RJ45, Extension Adapter for Remote USB Devi

The 4-Port USB 3.0 Extender over Ethernet allows you to connect up to four USB 3.0 peripherals to a host computer up to 330ft (100m) away using a single Cat6a, Cat7, or Cat8 Ethernet cable. This compact extension adapter kit is ideal for extending the typical reach of USB cables beyond standard lengths, making it suitable for classrooms, kiosks, industrial workstations, or control rooms. The system supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps) data rates, delivering high-speed performance without sacrificing reliability over long distances. Power either the transmitter or receiver unit with the included power adapter, as both devices share power via the Ethernet cable, simplifying setup and reducing the need for separate power sources at both ends of the link, especially useful in space-constrained or hard-to-access environments. The extender features RS-232 passthrough for serial control in automation setups and is built with rugged metal housings for enhanced protection and durability. It is fully driverless and OS-independent, compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux.
