1. INTRODUCTION

With USB being the standard connection for consumer electronicproducts, there has long been a need for something to let us operate
our many devices over long distances. The USB over CAT5e/6transmitter and receiver boxes developed for this purpose as they
can operate in both the home and commercial markets. Thesedevices allow most of the USB host to send data bidirectional within
a 100-meter distance while offering up to 4 USB outputs, giving thisproduct the ability to act like a USB hub. In addition, this product canalso access data from the output port devices even when there’s 100
meters separating the devices or using Ethernet hub in between toextend the distance double up to 200 meters. The USB over CAT5e/6transmitter and receiver boxes are the ideal choice for your USB
extension needs.

2. APPLICATIONS• USB Extension over CAT5/6 up to 100m or 200m through Hub• Control devices from far away
• Host device information sharing and control

3. PACKAGE CONTENTS• 1×USB over CAT5e/6 Transmitter• 1×USB over CAT5e/6 Receiver• 2× 5 V/3 A DC Power Adaptors• Operation Manual
