- What cable does it need?
- It runs over standard Cat5 or Cat6 network cable. The cable is not included, so you supply one long enough for your run.
- Does it need power?
- Yes. It is a powered extender, so it needs power at the receiving end to keep the USB signal strong over the full length.
- How far can it reach?
- Up to 150 ft over Cat5 or Cat6. That is far beyond what a passive USB cable can carry.
- Can I connect more than one device?
- No. It has a single USB port, so it extends one device at a time.
- Is it USB 3.0?
- No. It is USB 2.0, so connected devices run at USB 2.0 speed.
- Can I use it to share a USB device over my network?
- No. It is a point-to-point extender, not a network share. It links one USB device to one host over a direct cable run.
