Vanco 280319 USB Over CAT5e Cable Extender

Extend USB devices farther and cleaner without added power or complicated hardware. The Vanco USB over Category 5e Cable Extender (model 280319) lets you transmit USB signals up to 40 meters (132 ft) over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable — ideal for IT, security, surveillance and monitoring setups where peripherals must sit away from the host PC. Its passive, plug-and-play design requires no external power, reducing points of failure and simplifying installations.

This USB extender is built for practical deployments: it uses standard RJ45 patching and connects via a USB A male (transmitter) and USB A female (receiver), supporting common devices such as printers, webcams, barcode scanners and keyboard/mouse extensions. While operating at USB 1.0 speeds, it provides a stable, low-latency link for control and monitoring tasks across networking closets, server rooms, and AV racks. Compact housings minimize footprint and make it easy to integrate with existing low-voltage and networking infrastructure.
