⚠️ Important Notice: Point-to-Point USB Extender (Not a USB Network LAN Card)

1. Not a USB Ethernet Adapter (No Internet Access): This product is a dedicated point-to-point USB signal extender set (1x Transmitter with USB male + 1x Receiver with USB female). It is NOT a USB network card (NIC) for connecting laptops to routers or local area networks for internet access.
2. Direct Point-to-Point Connection Required: The transmitting and receiving units must be linked directly to each other using a single Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 patch cable (up to 50m / 164ft). Do NOT plug into active network switches, routers, hubs, or PoE equipment, as doing so will prevent operation and may damage connected hardware.
3. Bus-Powered & Device Power Notice: Best suited for low-power USB peripherals (keyboards, mice, barcode scanners, printers, and standard webcams). High-power devices such as external hard drives require their own external AC power supply to function reliably across long distances.

Product Overview

The USB 2.0 Extender Over RJ45 Ethernet Adapter Set overcomes the standard 5-meter physical distance barrier of conventional USB cables. By converting USB data signals to travel over an affordable, lightweight Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 twisted-pair network cable, this transmitter and receiver pair allows you to place printers, barcode scanners, webcams, and console controls up to 50 meters (164 feet) away from your host computer without signal loss or latency.

Key Features

• Long-Range Extension up to 50 Meters: Extends USB connectivity up to 50 meters (164 ft) over a single standard Cat5/Cat6 network patch cable.
• Complete Transmitter & Receiver Pair: Package includes one Transmitting unit (USB Male to RJ45 Female) for the computer and one Receiving unit (USB Female to RJ45 Female) for the peripheral.
• Bus-Powered Convenience: Draws operating power directly from the host computer's USB port, eliminating the need for bulky AC power bricks or extra outlets.
• High-Quality Signal Processing Chipset: Integrated signal conditioning chip ensures reliable data packet transmission and automatic peripheral recognition over extended distances.
• Durable & Compact Housing: Lightweight molded ABS shells with flexible strain-relief tail cords prevent strain on computer ports and fit smoothly into conduits and raceways.
• Driver-Free Plug and Play: Operates transparently across operating systems without requiring software drivers or complicated setup.

Device Compatibility

Compatible with standard USB 2.0 / USB 1.1 host machines and peripherals connected via point-to-point network cabling:

• Host Systems: Desktop PCs, laptops, workstations, servers, and industrial terminals running Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista, XP, and macOS v8.6 or higher.
• Compatible USB Peripherals: Printers, USB webcams, security cameras, keyboards, mice, barcode scanners, USB flash drives, and interactive display pointers.
• Required Cabling: Single straight-through Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 twisted-pair copper cable (solid copper core recommended for distances over 30m).

Note: Compatible systems and peripherals listed above represent functional reference examples. This list is not exhaustive; standard USB HID and low-power peripherals are functionally supported.

Common Daily Applications

• Connecting a remote USB document printer or label printer in a warehouse to an office desktop.
• Mounting a USB conference webcam or surveillance camera up to 50 meters away from the monitoring PC.
• Extending keyboard and mouse controls from a secure server room to a remote workstation or security desk.
• Industrial manufacturing plants where host computers must be isolated from harsh production floor environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this adapter to connect my laptop to the internet through a router?
A: No. This is strictly a USB device extender, not an Ethernet network adapter. Connecting this device to a network router, switch, or wall internet jack will not provide internet connectivity and may damage your equipment.

Q: Why does my external hard drive not work through this extender?
A: Because this extender is passive and draws power through the host USB port, long network cable runs cause natural DC voltage drop. Portable 2.5-inch hard drives that rely entirely on USB bus power may not receive enough current to spin up. Hard drives with independent AC wall power adapters are required.
