The SMART Cat 5 USB Extender is a versatile, high-performance solution designed to overcome distance barriers in classrooms, training rooms, boardrooms, and professional labs. Built to expand the reach of USB peripherals without compromising speed or reliability, this extender connects USB devices to a host computer over standard Cat5e/6 cabling. Whether you’re wiring an interactive whiteboard, a document camera, a projector, or a series of USB peripherals across a long table or auditorium, the SMART Cat 5 USB Extender delivers a clean, plug-and-play experience with robust data integrity. The system uses a transmitter and receiver pair that communicate over Cat5e/6 cables, turning ordinary Ethernet cables into a dedicated USB conduit. This is particularly valuable in environments where cable runs would otherwise create hazards or clutter, or where wireless alternatives fall short in responsiveness or security. Say goodbye to desk clutter and signal dropouts and enjoy stable, high-bandwidth USB connectivity across rooms and campuses, all while maintaining a straightforward setup that works with existing network infrastructure.

  • Distance and reliability: Extends USB connections up to 100 meters (328 feet) over Cat5e/6 cables, with lossless data transfer and minimal latency. This makes it ideal for interactive whiteboards, document cameras, projectors, and shared peripherals in classrooms, training facilities, and corporate settings where devices must be accessed from a distance.
  • USB 2.0 high-speed performance: Delivers up to 480 Mbps data transfer for compatible devices, ensuring smooth operation of keyboards, mice, printers, webcams, USB drives, and other standard USB peripherals without noticeable lag—even when devices are located far from the host computer.
  • Plug-and-play simplicity: Designed for quick, user-friendly setup with no driver installations required for most USB devices. It supports standard USB HID devices out of the box, enabling immediate use after connecting the USB host, Cat5e/6 cable, and the remote device.
  • Flexible power options: Works in bus-powered configurations for short runs and lower-power devices; when longer cable distances or power-hungry devices are involved, an external power supply on the transmitter or receiver keeps performance stable and consistent.
  • Education- and professional-grade resilience: Built to withstand daily classroom and conference-room use with robust construction and simple maintenance, providing dependable connectivity for interactive displays, video conferencing peripherals, printers, and other shared USB devices in busy environments.

Technical Details of SMART Cat 5 USB Extender

  • Max distance: Up to 100 meters (328 feet) over Cat5e/6 cables; performance may vary with cable quality, environmental interference, and device power requirements.
  • USB version and speed: USB 2.0 High Speed, 480 Mbps theoretical bandwidth; backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices.
  • Connection architecture: Transmitter unit connects to the host USB port; receiver unit connects to the target USB device; both units communicate over a standard RJ45 Cat5e/6 link.
  • Device compatibility: Works with common USB peripherals including keyboards, mice, printers, scanners, webcams, USB drives, document cameras, and other USB HID and storage devices.
  • Power options: Can operate in bus-powered mode for shorter runs or lower-current devices; external power supply is recommended for longer runs or higher-current devices to maintain signal integrity.
  • Compatibility and drivers: Plug-and-play for most operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux); no special drivers required for standard USB devices.
  • Physical design: Transmitter and receiver units are designed for desktop or small rack-mount setups; compact form factors support discreet installation in classrooms, conference rooms, and labs.
  • Status indicators: LED indicators provide clear link and activity status to help with quick installation and troubleshooting.

how to install SMART Cat 5 USB Extender

Deploying the SMART Cat 5 USB Extender in a classroom, meeting room, or lab is straightforward and quick. Start by preparing a stable workstation with the host computer and the intended peripheral. Connect the transmitter unit directly to the host computer’s USB port using the included USB cable. Run a Cat5e/6 cable from the transmitter’s RJ45 port to the remote receiver’s RJ45 port, ensuring the cable is clear of sources of electrical interference and not routed parallel to high-power lines. At the remote end, plug your USB device into the receiver’s USB port; this can be a keyboard, mouse, printer, document camera, webcam, or any USB 2.0-compatible device. If your installation distance or the connected device requires additional power, attach the included external power adapters to the appropriate units as recommended in the product manual. Finally, power on all devices and verify that the host detects the USB device. Look for the LED indicators on both units to confirm a solid link and active data transfer. For best results, keep cables neatly managed, avoid bending Cat5e/6 cables sharply, and minimize interference from nearby electrical equipment. With these steps, you can extend USB device reach across rooms while preserving performance, reliability, and ease of use for students, teachers, presenters, and IT staff alike.

Excellent Purchase!
Color: Brown, Pattern Name: Tree stump 2 Pack, Color: Brown, Pattern Name: Tree stump 2 Pack
My dogs and I really like these treat toys! I was surprised and questioning whether to keep them when I took them from the box. They are heavier and harder and larger than I envisioned. I didn't realize how hard a nylon/coffee wood combo actually is. However, I want to emphasize that the sales description IS accurate. It details the specifications, materials and size. Clearly states that they are designed specifically for aggressive chewers. I just haven't purchased anything quite like this before. That said, I was happy it came in a 2 pack and it seems a good value for the price. The dogs have chewed on them, I can see the marks, but they haven't made a dent after about 6 treat sessions. These logs are at least as hard as antlers. They will last a long time. The silicone trays are easy to fill and freeze. I made low calorie popsicles with bone broth and some added mix-ins like pureed pumpkin, healthy freeze dried dog food topper sprinkle, etc. You could also add some peanut butter in the small open end of the log if you want. I just ran hot water over the bottom of the silicone tray to melt the freeze slightly and the frozen treats slid right out. They are shaped perfectly to fit the hole in the log. The seller provided small tools to unscrew/screw the cap in and out for filling with treats. Even the smaller of my 2 dogs (30 lb Brittany) can get her mouth around the end of the log to carry it to her bed to lay and lick/chew it. I guess another advantage, beyond the durability, of the material is that my dogs don't want to play with it like a toy. They know it is time to relax and have a treat timeout. More like chilling with a chew bone. Overall we really do love these!! Glad I tried them.

Durable, Engaging Toy That Actually Lasts
Color: Brown, Pattern Name: Tree stump 2 Pack
I’m really impressed with the ClariVora 2 Pack Dog Toys for aggressive chewers. My dog is a strong chewer and usually destroys toys quickly, but these have held up really well. The material is durable and tough without being too hard, which gives me peace of mind. I especially love that they can be used as frozen treat toys. Filling them and freezing them keeps my dog busy for a long time and really helps with boredom and anxiety. They’re perfect for extending playtime and keeping dogs mentally engaged. These toys are a great size for medium to large dogs, easy to clean, and have already become a favorite in our house. If you have a power chewer and want something interactive and long-lasting, I definitely recommend these.

Small but aggressive chewers love these
Color: Brown, Pattern Name: Tree stump 2 Pack
I have a Jack Russell and a chihuahua/jack mix (I know, I must have done something really bad in a former life and this is my punishment). They’re both aggressive chewers for their size. These hold up well and they love them. The silicon molds are really easy to use and clean. I spread a little peanut butter around the sides and then fill with wet food, pumpkin, Greek yogurt etc. Once frozen they pop out easy. Keep the kids busy for a solid 20mins. Just don’t over-tighten when you close them!
