The StarTech.com USB2004EXTV is a USB 2.0 extender kit that connects four USB devices to a computer over a Cat5 or Cat6 cable up to 130 ft (40 m), making it suitable for desks, workstations, or other setups where peripherals need to be placed farther from the computer.
Recommended For
- People setting up a remote desk or workstation who need a keyboard, mouse, printer, or other USB 2.0 peripherals near them while the host computer stays elsewhere; the Cat5/Cat6 link can run up to 40 m.
- People extending several lower-bandwidth USB 2.0 devices to a remote room or work area using existing direct or in-wall Cat5/Cat6 cabling, with no new USB run needed.
- Astronomy and equipment-control setups that need remote USB 2.0 connections for devices such as a telescope mount, focuser, guider, or filter wheel; an astronomy community user reports using this model for those devices over a 60-foot Cat cable.
- Users who want four remote USB 2.0 ports for a mix of stationary peripherals and frequently connected devices, such as flash drives; StarTech highlights two easy-access top ports for portable devices.
