USB over RJ45 Ethernet Extension Adapter Kit – Extends USB Signal up to 150ft over Cat5/Cat6

Overview

USB over RJ45 Ethernet Extension Adapter Kit is a transmitter/receiver set that extends a USB connection over a standard Cat5/Cat6 network cable. It’s a practical solution when you need to place a USB device far from your computer—up to 150ft—without moving your PC.

Key Features

• Extend USB up to 150ft: Ideal for long-distance setups in home, office, classrooms, and shops.
• Uses Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6: Works over standard Ethernet patch cable (RJ45 network cable not included).
• Two-piece kit: Includes a Sender/Transmitter and Receiver adapter for end-to-end extension.
• Great for many USB devices: Commonly used for keyboards, mice, printers, scanners, webcams, and other USB peripherals.
• Plug & play: No drivers required in most setups—connect and use.

How It Works

• Connect the USB sender to your computer’s USB port.
• Run a Cat5/Cat6 Ethernet cable from the sender to the receiver (up to 150ft).
• Connect the USB device (camera/keyboard/printer etc.) to the receiver’s USB port.

Specifications

Important Notes (Please Read)

• This is not a network adapter: It does not convert USB into true Ethernet networking; it uses Cat5/Cat6 cable as a long extension path.
• Performance depends on device: Some high-bandwidth USB devices may need a powered/USB 2.0 extender model for best results.
• Use quality cable: For stable performance at longer distances, use a good-quality Cat5e/Cat6 cable and avoid damaged/loose terminations.

What’s in the Box

• 1 × USB over RJ45 Sender (Transmitter)
• 1 × USB over RJ45 Receiver

FAQ

Do I need drivers?
Usually no—most USB extender kits are plug-and-play for common peripherals.

Does it include the Ethernet cable?
No. You will need a separate Cat5/Cat6 Ethernet cable of the length you need (up to 150ft).

Can I use it for a webcam?
Yes, it can work for many webcams, but performance depends on the webcam bandwidth and the extender type. For high-resolution webcams, a powered USB 2.0 extender may be a better choice.
