Kanex Pro Inc EXT-USB2100M Usb 2.0 Extender Cat6

Product Description

The KANEX PRO INC EXT-USB2100M is a USB 2.0 extender that transmits USB signals over Cat6 cabling up to 100 meters. It is designed for installations where USB devices need to be located far from the host computer or control system, beyond the standard USB cable length limit. Technicians and AV integrators install this unit in commercial and institutional environments where distance between source equipment and USB peripherals is a consistent challenge. The extender uses the existing Cat6 infrastructure to carry the USB 2.0 signal without signal degradation over the extended run.

This extender is suited for commercial AV installations, conference rooms, classrooms, and control rooms where USB peripherals such as cameras, keyboards, storage devices, or other USB 2.0 devices must be positioned at a remote location from the host. It supports installations requiring runs up to 100 meters over a single Cat6 cable, reducing the need for additional signal boosters or repeaters in many standard deployments.

Key Features

• Extends USB 2.0 signals up to 100 meters over Cat6 cabling
• Eliminates the 5-meter native USB cable distance limitation
• Compatible with standard Cat6 structured cabling infrastructure
• Designed for commercial AV and IT integration applications
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or integration component for USB 2.0 extension applications over Cat6 network cabling in commercial AV and IT environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed AV integrator or IT technician. Power down the host system before connecting or disconnecting the extender units. Ensure Cat6 cabling meets TIA-568 termination standards for reliable signal transmission at full extension distances. Do not use Cat5 or lower-rated cabling if the full 100-meter range is required.
