Description
Tripp Lite's B203-104-PNP 4-Port Plug-and-Play USB 2.0 over Cat5/Cat6 Extender Hub Kit transmits data
from your computer to as many as four USB 2.0 peripherals up to 164.04-ft. (50M) away. It has plug-andplay functionality, meaning you don't have to install drivers or software. For added convenience, the
transmitter has a built-in USB cable for connection to your computer. The USB signals travel between the
transmitter and receiver hub over user-supplied Cat5/Cat6 cable. It's a simple, cost-effective solution for
connecting your computer to a printer and other USB peripherals that lack network connectivity and are
farther than 16-ft. (4.88 m) away from your computer, which is the distance limitation for USB cables. For
example, you can use this kit to connect impact printers to a server in another room. This extender kit is
also convenient for making connections in areas without network availability.
By using Cat5/Cat6 cable to carry signals, the B203-104-PNP extends your installation farther than is
possible with standard USB cables. Plus, Cat5/Cat6 cabling is readily available at low cost. For maximum
signal integrity, use solid-conductor Cat5/Cat6 UTP cabling, such as Tripp Lite's N202-series. The B203104-PNP extender kit can achieve data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps. It's backward compatible with USB
1.1 peripherals, but at USB 1.1 speeds. The B203-104-PNP works with all major operating systems
(Windows and Mac). Complies with the Federal Trade Agreements Act (TAA) for GSA Schedule
purchases.
