Gefen EXT-USB2.0-SR Usb 2.0 Extender Over Cat5

Product Description

The GEFEN EXT-USB2.0-SR is a USB 2.0 signal extender that transmits USB data over standard Cat5 cable. It allows technicians and integrators to extend USB device connections beyond the standard USB cable length limit, enabling longer runs between a host computer and connected peripherals. The unit is sold individually and is suited for AV system installations, control systems, and display accessory setups where USB peripherals must be located at a distance from the source device.

This extender is used in commercial and residential AV installations where USB peripherals such as keyboards, mice, cameras, or other USB 2.0 devices need to be placed at extended distances from the host. It is a common solution for boardrooms, classrooms, digital signage installations, and similar environments where structured Cat5 cabling is already in place.

Key Features

• Extends USB 2.0 signals over Cat5 cable infrastructure
• Eliminates the standard USB cable length restriction for connected peripherals

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by AV integrators or IT technicians. Power down or disconnect the host system before connecting or disconnecting the extender hardware. Use properly terminated Cat5 or better structured cabling between transmitter and receiver units. Follow applicable low-voltage wiring codes and manufacturer guidelines for maximum supported cable run distances.
