USB Extender Over Cat5/Cat6a, Up to 164FT(50m), 4 Powered USB Hub Over Ethernet, Plug and Play, No Driver, Works with Keyboards, Mouse, Webcams, Printers

I got this USB extender to be able to run a USB from my laptop in my office down to the basement so I don't have to keep moving my computer up and down when I want to use it downstairs. I paired it with an HDMI extender as well so I can easily have my media on my downstairs TV. I wasn't exactly sure how well this would work since it only supports USB 1.1, but it works excellently. I was able to push it to its limit and tested it with a mouse, keyboard, USB headset, and game controller all at the same time and it worked flawlessly with no noticeable latency. It also was able to do audio in and out. It does have some quirks as there are many devices that don't seem to be backwards compatible with it, including my USB switch, but I have a USB hub with four ports on it and it was able to support that. No problem. I ran it over a length of about 50 ft of cat5e cable and it seemed to work with no issues. I don't need any longer than that, but it seems to boast that it can handle a much longer length than that. I imagine if you ran a cat6 or cat6e cable, it should be able to do those lengths. I like that you don't need to provide any external power with this hub either, so it's just plug and play over ethernet and you're ready to go. Overall very happy with this hub and I would definitely recommend it.

Works well with a CAT5/6, eight-wire cable, over about a 50 foot distance, for use as an extender to power/supply a Logitech Unifying 2.4Ghz receiver, for a Logitech wireless track ball and keyboard. The mouse and keyboard cannot "wake up" a PC in sleep mode, probably because it's powered by the USB port which is off in sleep model. In any case, it provided 90% of the purpose we bought it for. Plus, the vendor provided GREAT customer service, and even offered a full refund when we thought their unit stopped working. I'll update if I have problems over the next year.

Unreliable connectivity even using the specified USB 2.0 cable. Having a USB B connector is a questionable choice. They say you can use a hub as long as it’s backwards compatible with USB 2.0 but I wasn’t able to find a hub that worked with it. Bummer I was excited about it.

Excellent value for the money and very easy to set up if just using one direct wired cat5/6 cable. Works with minimal enough latency to connect an Xbox one controller as well as keyboard and mouse for a very serviceable gaming experience on a monitor in another room. Great connectivity and a solid connection.

I used this with three cameras and a conference room microphone with OBS. I wasn't expecting this to just work, but it did. No dropped frames or loss of quality and I was able to place the cameras to where I needed them. My cabling setup was reduced also (1 ethernet cable, direct connect from cameras and microphone to the USB extender vs 4 USB cables going back to a hub at my laptop). It's nice to have the added freedom in setups.
