Cable Extenders

Put USB devices within convenient reach

The Manhattan USB Line Extender easily bridges the distance between a USB device and a PC host without signal loss. The local and remote units with an RJ45 network cable (not included) can connect, process and repeat USB signals. The local and receiver units can also be used separately to customize cables of any length up to 60 m (196 ft.).

Use the Manhattan USB Line Extender to overcome the USB distance restriction and expand device and PC locations and better organize productive office arrangements. The Manhattan USB Line Extender can help extend a USB keyboard and mouse during presentations, operate a barcode scanner in retail point-of-purchase applications, access a printer in another room and improve other USB applications without signal loss or interference.

It's small, lightweight and portable with no external power supply or drivers required, making it ideal for travel and use almost anywhere. Plug-and-play capability and Windows and Macintosh compatibility make installation easy and quick.

USB 4-Port Extender via Ethernet Cable

The IOGEAR USB 2.0 4-Port BoostLinq Ethernet combines a USB extender and a USB hub to allow connecting as many as four USB 2.0 (and/or USB 1.1) devices from up to 164 feet away from your computer. Connected devices still maintain a high-speed data transfer rate of up to 480Mbps, while operating from a more convenient location. The USB 2.0 4-Port BoostLinq Ethernet converts a USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 connection to RJ-45, and sends the USB data over common Cat5, Cat5e or Cat 6 Ethernet cable up to a distance of 164 feet (50 meters). The USB 2.0 4-Port BoostLinq Ethernet is considered an active repeater, using a small power supply to amplify the USB signal and preserve the integrity of the data over long distances. The power supply also helps maintain enough current to power any connected USB devices such as webcams, hard drives, etc.

The USB 2.0 4-Port BoostLinq Ethernet kit includes a local unit, a remote unit and a power supply. The local unit connects directly to your computer while the remote unit connects with up to four USB devices. The local and remote units are connected to each other with Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 Ethernet cabling (not included) up to a maximum length of 164 feet (50 meters). The GUCE64 is simple to set up and requires no additional drivers to install.

Designed with classrooms, labs, offices and conference rooms in mind, the USB 2.0 4-Port BoostLinq Ethernet offers an easy means of operating USB devices at an extended distance from your computer. Typical USB devices are limited to a maximum distance of 16ft before signal loss causes significant problems. Unlike ordinary passive USB extension cables, the GUCE64 uses active amplification so you can place devices on the other side of your office, or even the other side of the building (up to 164ft distance). The USB 2.0 4-Port BoostLinq Ethernet makes it easy to connect your USB 2.0 peripherals such as scanners, printers, cameras, electronic whiteboards, etc. and is backward compatible with most USB 1.1 devices. Please note that maximum transfer rate drops to 12Mbps with USB 1.1 devices connected.

USB Extender via Ethernet Cable

The IOGEAR BoostLinq Ethernet allows placement of USB 2.0 (and USB 1.1) devices up to 164 feet away from your computer, while still maintaining USB 2.0 Hi-Speed data transfer. The BoostLinq Ethernet converts the USB 2.0 connection to RJ-45 which allows the signal to travel up to 164 feet over common Cat5, Cat5e or Cat 6 Ethernet cable. The peak data transfer speeds of USB 2.0 are maintained by the incorporation of a unique signal booster chipset that preserves the integrity of your data. It also maintains the voltage requirement to power downstream USB 2.0 devices such as webcams, hard drives, etc. These active repeaters ensure signal integrity is preserved over the full length of the cable, resulting in maximum performance for all peripherals.

The kit includes a power supply and two dongles. The local dongle connects directly to your computer and the remote dongle connects directly to your USB device. These two dongles are interconnected with Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 cabling (not included) to extend the USB device any distance desired- up to 164 feet (50 meters). The GUCE62 is simple to set up and requires no additional drivers to install.

Gigabit PoE Extender - for doubling the range of a Gigabit Power over Ethernet connection

The Intellinet Network Solutions 4-Port Gigabit Ultra PoE Extender adds up to 100 m (328 ft.) to the connection distance from a PoE source to four output devices via Cat5e or Cat6 cable. This PoE++ extender does not need an additional power supply since it draws its power from the PoE input.

Reduced Wiring Costs

This Ultra PoE Extender helps avoid the expense of running AC power lines for a wireless access point, network camera or IP phone. Simply connect the PoE Extender to the LAN switch port through existing Cat5e/6/6a cables to deliver DC power as well as transfer data.

Power over Ethernet 802.3bt Compliant

The Intellinet Network Solutions 4-Port Gigabit Ultra PoE Extender supports the IEEE 802.3bt protocol over four pairs (4PPoE), which allows for a power input of 90 W. It forwards data at Gigabit speeds and offers up to 30 watts per port to a connected IEEE 802.3at- or IEEE 802.3af-compliant device. The cable length on both ends can be up to 100 meters (328 ft.), bringing the total distance between PoE source and device to 200 m (656 ft.).

Simple Installation

This PoE Extender was designed to be as easy as possible to set up and use. All it takes to have it up and running is to connect its "PoE In" port to your PoE injector or PoE switch and to connect the "PoE Out" ports to the PoE devices you want to connect (e.g., a VoIP phone and a PoE network camera).
