Tripp Lite B202-150 Usb Over Cat5 Extender Kit

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE B202-150 is a USB-over-Cat5 extender kit designed to extend USB device connectivity beyond the standard USB cable length limit. The kit transmits USB signals over standard Cat5 or Cat5e structured cabling, allowing technicians to place USB peripherals at distances that would otherwise be impossible with direct USB connections. This type of extender is commonly installed in AV integration, IT infrastructure, and display accessory applications where peripheral placement flexibility is required.

The B202-150 is suited for environments where USB devices such as keyboards, mice, scanners, or other HID peripherals need to be located away from the host system. Typical installations include commercial AV setups, conference room displays, retail kiosks, and industrial workstations where running standard USB cable is not practical due to distance constraints.

Key Features

• Extends USB connectivity over Cat5 or Cat5e cabling
• Eliminates the 16-foot distance restriction of standard USB cables
• Supports USB peripheral devices including HID and other USB device classes
• Kit includes both local transmitter and remote receiver units
• Leverages existing structured cabling infrastructure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for USB extension applications utilizing Cat5 or Cat5e structured cabling infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by AV integrators or IT technicians familiar with structured cabling and USB peripheral systems. Power down connected host systems before connecting or disconnecting extender units. Ensure Cat5 or Cat5e cable runs meet the distance specifications for the extender and are properly terminated at both ends. Follow applicable TIA/EIA cabling standards for structured wiring installations.
