Kanex Pro Inc EXT-USB3100M Usb 3.0 Extender Cat6 4-port

Product Description

The KANEX PRO INC EXT-USB3100M is a USB 3.0 extender that transmits USB signals over Cat6 cable up to 100 meters. The unit provides four downstream USB 3.0 ports at the remote receiver end, allowing technicians to connect multiple USB devices far from the host system. This extender is suited for AV integration, commercial installations, and structured-wiring environments where USB peripherals must operate at distances beyond the standard 5-meter USB cable limit. Installation is handled by AV integrators, IT technicians, and low-voltage specialists.

The EXT-USB3100M fits commercial and institutional environments where workstations, kiosks, or presentation systems require USB connectivity at extended runs. Typical applications include conference rooms, classrooms, medical facilities, and industrial control stations where the host computer is located in a remote rack or closet. The four-port hub at the receiver end supports multiple simultaneous USB 3.0 devices without requiring additional hubs at the endpoint.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage or AV integration technician. Power down or disconnect the host system before connecting the transmitter unit to the USB host port. Cat6 cable runs should conform to TIA-568 termination standards for reliable signal integrity at full extension distance. Do not use Cat5 or lower-rated cable, as signal degradation may occur at extended runs.
