USB-Over-RJ45 Ethernet Adapters (often called USB extenders over Ethernet) are devices that allow you to extend USB connections using standard Ethernet cables (Cat5e/Cat6). They’re especially useful when you need to connect a USB device (like a printer, camera, or keyboard) far from your computer — far beyond the normal USB cable length limit of about 5 meters.
- Long-Distance USB Extension:
Extends USB devices up to 50–100 meters (165–328 feet) using Cat5e/6 cables. - Plug and Play:
Most models require no drivers — just plug them in and you’re good to go. - Transmits USB 1.1 / 2.0 / 3.0:
Depending on the model supports different USB versions and speeds (some up to 480 Mbps for USB 2.0). - Power Handling:
Some extenders are self-powered, while others may need external power adapters for high-power USB devices. - RJ45 Connector Interface:
Standard Ethernet port for ease of cabling with commonly available network wires.
