Product Description
The Tripp-Lite B203-101-PNP 1-Port Plug-and-Play USB 2.0 Extender Kit is a game-changer. It can transmit data from your computer to a USB 2.0 peripheral up to 164 ft. (50 m) away. With plug-and-play functionality, you don't need to install any drivers or software. The transmitter comes with a built-in USB A/B cable for easy connection to your computer. USB signals travel between the transmitter and receiver over a user-supplied Cat5/Cat6 cable. It's a cost-effective solution for connecting your computer to printers or other USB peripherals that are far from your computer (beyond the 16 ft. USB cable limit) and lack network connectivity. For example, you can connect an impact printer to a server in another room. It's also great for areas without network availability. Key features include long-distance data transfer to one device, signals traveling over a single Cat5/Cat6 cable, a transmitter with a built-in cable and a 1-port receiver, and the ability to connect to non-networked devices in areas out of reach of standard USB cables. It allows you to keep your source in a secure location separate from peripherals. The receiver unit has an external power supply. System requirements are a USB-equipped Windows, Mac or Chromebook computer, a Cat5/Cat6 cable, and an available AC outlet at the receiver location. The cable types are USB and UTP (Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a), it's black in color, and it has specific connectors and one port. The kit includes a local transmitter with a built-in USB cable, a 1-port remote receiver, an external power supply for the receiver (Input: 100 - 240V, 50/60 Hz, 0.5A; Output: 5V, 2A), and an owner's manual.
Using the Tripp - Lite USB 2.0 Extender Kit is easy. First, connect the built - in USB A/B cable on the transmitter to your computer. Then, use a Cat5/Cat6 cable you supply to connect the transmitter and the receiver. Connect the USB 2.0 peripheral to the receiver. Plug the external power supply into an available AC outlet at the receiver's location. That's it - no need to install any software or drivers. When using, make sure your computer is a USB - equipped Windows, Mac or Chromebook. Always use a proper Cat5/Cat6 cable for reliable data transfer. Keep the cables away from sources of interference like large electrical appliances. For maintenance, keep the units clean and free of dust. Check the cables regularly for any signs of damage. If you encounter any issues, refer to the owner's manual.
