Description
Tripp Lite’s B203-104-PNP 4-Port Plug-and-Play USB 2.0 over Cat5/Cat6 Extender
Hub Kit transmits data from your computer to as many as four USB 2.0
peripherals up to 164.04-ft. (50M) away. It has plug-and-play functionality,
meaning you don’t have to install drivers or software. For added convenience,
the transmitter has a built-in USB cable for connection to your computer. The
USB signals travel between the transmitter and receiver hub over user-supplied
Cat5/Cat6 cable. It’s a simple, cost-effective solution for connecting your
computer to a printer and other USB peripherals that lack network connectivity
and are farther than 16-ft. (4.88 m) away from your computer, which is the
distance limitation for USB cables. For example, you can use this kit to
connect impact printers to a server in another room. This extender kit is also
convenient for making connections in areas without network availability.
By using Cat5/Cat6 cable to carry signals, the B203-104-PNP extends your
installation farther than is possible with standard USB cables. Plus,
Cat5/Cat6 cabling is readily available at low cost. For maximum signal
integrity, use solid-conductor Cat5/Cat6 UTP cabling, such as Tripp Lite’s
N202-series. The B203-104-PNP extender kit can achieve data transfer rates up
to 480 Mbps. It’s backward compatible with USB 1.1 peripherals, but at USB 1.1
speeds. The B203-104-PNP works with all major operating systems (Windows and
Mac). Complies with the Federal Trade Agreements Act (TAA) for GSA Schedule
purchases.
