Yealink USB2CAT5E-EXT USB Extender for Long Distance USB Signal Transmission

Reliable USB Extension for Professional Meeting Room Setups
The Yealink USB2CAT5E-EXT USB Extender is designed to extend USB connectivity across long distances using standard CAT5e cabling. It enables flexible device placement in conference rooms, training environments, and collaborative workspaces where direct USB connections are not practical. By converting USB signals for transmission over Ethernet-style cabling, it ensures stable and efficient communication between host systems and connected peripherals.

With support for up to 40 meters of transmission distance, this extender allows USB devices such as cameras, microphones, and other conferencing peripherals to be positioned optimally within a room without being limited by short USB cable lengths. The system is built for simple deployment, making it suitable for both new installations and retrofit environments.

Description:

The Yealink USB2CAT5E-EXT USB Extender provides a practical solution for extending USB signals over long distances using CAT5e cable infrastructure. It consists of a transmitter and receiver unit that work together to maintain stable USB communication over extended ranges. The transmitter connects directly to the host device via a short USB Type-A cable and links to the receiver through RJ45 connectivity. On the receiving end, multiple USB Type-A ports allow connection of various peripherals.

Designed for flexibility in professional environments, this extender supports a wide range of USB devices and enables cleaner room layouts by removing the need for direct proximity between host systems and peripherals. The included power supply ensures stable performance, while the compact design allows easy integration into existing setups.

Features:

Extended USB Connectivity for Meeting Room Environments
This USB extender is particularly suited for environments where USB devices must be positioned far from the main computing unit. It supports structured cabling standards and allows installers to tailor CAT5e cable length according to room requirements. This adaptability makes it a reliable option for scalable AV and conferencing deployments.

Key advantages include:

• Extended USB signal transmission up to 40 meters
• Flexible installation using standard CAT5e cabling
• Compatibility with a broad range of USB peripherals
• Simplified deployment for professional AV environments
