USB 60M Network Extender – Overview

A USB 60M Network Extender allows a USB device (like a keyboard, mouse, webcam, printer, or flash drive) to be connected to a computer over long distances using a standard Ethernet cable (Cat5e/Cat6). It’s a cost-effective solution for extending USB connections beyond the typical 5-meter USB cable limit.

Key Features

• Extended Range: Transmits USB signals up to 60 meters (approximately 200 feet) over a single Ethernet cable.

• Plug and Play: No software or drivers needed; works automatically with most systems.

• Standard Cables: Uses Cat5e or Cat6 cables for easy, low-cost installation.

• Compact Design: Usually includes a pair of small adapter units—one connects to the computer (transmitter), the other to the USB device (receiver).

• Single USB Port: Supports one USB 2.0 device; some versions may support USB hubs for multiple devices.

Technical Specifications

• Interface: USB 2.0 (backward compatible with USB 1.1)

• Maximum Distance: Up to 60 meters (dependent on cable quality and environment)

• Power Supply: Passive models use USB power only; some may include external power for high-power devices

• Supported Devices: Compatible with low- and full-speed USB peripherals such as mice, keyboards, flash drives, printers, and webcams (note: not ideal for high-bandwidth devices like HD webcams or external hard drives)

Use Cases

• Remote USB Access: Connect USB devices far away from the host computer, such as in classrooms, security booths, or server rooms.

• Surveillance Systems: Extend access to a USB camera or control device over long distances.

• KVM Extensions: Use for remote keyboard and mouse access in IT and industrial environments.

• Home or Office Setup: Simplifies device placement when direct USB cabling isn’t practical.
