1.1 Produk Leuwihview
The Lindy USB 2.0 CAT5/6 Extender is designed to extend the distance between a USB peripheral device and a host computer by up to 50 meters. This system consists of two units: a local (transmitter) unit that connects to the computer and a remote (receiver) unit that connects to the USB peripheral. A standard, low-cost CAT5/5e/6 network cable (not included) is used to bridge the connection between these two units.
A key feature of this extender is Power over CAT5/6 (PoC), which means only the transmitter/local unit requires a power supply. This allows the receiver/remote unit and connected devices to be positioned more freely without needing a separate power outlet. Both the transmitter and receiver units include integrated mounting brackets for easier installation.
Note: For high-bandwidth bus-powered devices like webcams, especially HD webcams, the 100m 4 Port USB 2.0 CAT5 Extender Pro is recommended. The stated extension lengths are achievable with a direct connection using good quality CAT6 UUTP Solid Core cable. Using different cable types, wall plates, couplers, or patch panels may reduce the maximum achievable distance.
