Black Box IC282A 2-Port USB CAT5e/6/7 Extender

Overview :

The Black Box IC282A is a versatile 2-port USB extender designed to extend USB 1.1 and 2.0 connections over CAT5e, CAT6, or CAT7 cables. This device is ideal for situations where USB devices need to be placed far from the host computer, such as in remote workstation setups, conference rooms, or data centers. By using standard Ethernet cabling, the IC282A provides a cost-effective solution for extending USB connections without sacrificing performance. It supports both USB 1.1 and 2.0 devices, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of peripherals. The extender is designed for ease of use and installation, making it a practical choice for extending USB connectivity in various environments.

Use CAT5e/6/7 cable to extend connections to USB peripherals such as keyboards, mice, interactive whiteboards, and other devices without the need for external power adapters. The IC282A extender is composed of two individual units: the local extender and the remote extender. The local extender receives power from the host computer, making it ideal for extensions in industrial control, sensor, or data acquisition applications where you are short on power outlets. The extender supplies up to 400 mA to USB devices and is industrial rated for ESD/EFT (electrostatic discharge/electrically fast transient) immunity. Also, the extender’s remote unit has two downstream USB Type A ports for plugging in USB 1.1 or 2.0 devices
