Eaton Tripp Lite Series B203-104-PNP 164ft USB 2.0 Extender Kit
Overview :
The Eaton Tripp Lite Series B203-104-PNP is a 4-Port Plug-and-Play USB 2.0 over Cat5/Cat6 Extender Kit, engineered to overcome the inherent distance limitations of standard USB cabling. Designed for environments requiring extended USB connectivity for peripherals, this kit efficiently bridges distances by enabling the seamless connection of up to four USB 2.0 devices up to 164 feet (50 meters) away from a host computer. This solution is particularly valuable in scenarios where a computer is situated in a secure location or where peripherals like printers or scanners are positioned far from the workstation, especially in areas lacking network connectivity. This extender kit leverages readily available and cost-effective Cat5/Cat6 UTP cabling for signal transmission, supporting robust USB 2.0 data rates of up to 480 Mbps and maintaining backward compatibility with USB 1.1 devices. The comprehensive kit includes a transmitter unit, featuring a convenient built-in USB cable for direct host connection, and a 4-port receiver hub. This architecture guarantees reliable, high-speed data transfer over long distances, which is critical for preserving peripheral performance across distributed workspaces or between secure and accessible zones. Designed for flexible and straightforward deployment, the B203-104-PNP allows for significant physical separation between the host computer and its USB peripherals. Its plug-and-play functionality eliminates the need for any software or driver installations, ensuring simplified setup across Windows, macOS, and Chromebook operating systems. The receiver hub is powered by an included external power supply, guaranteeing ample power delivery to all connected USB devices, thereby enhancing overall system stability and performance.
