StarTech.com USB2004EXTV 4-Port USB 2.0-Over-Cat5-or-Cat6 Extender - 165ft (50m)

This 4-port USB 2.0 extender from StarTech.com provides an easy and inexpensive solution for creating workspace freedom. Now you can extend the distance of your USB 2.0 devices over a single Ethernet cable, up to 40m over Cat5, or 165ft (50m) over Cat6.

You can place up to four USB devices in remote locations away from the host computer system. Position your hard drive enclosure, printer, scanner, webcam and other popular peripherals where you need them, to save time and enhance your productivity.

You can use the two top ports for fast, easy connections to portable devices like flash drives, smartphones and tablets, and still have two front-facing ports for printers or other devices requiring a more permanent set-up.

The versatile USB2004EXTV supports Windows®, Mac® and Linux systems. Set-up is easy with no additional drivers or software required, and the extender is backward compatible with USB 1.1 and 1.0 peripherals.

This product is backed by a 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
