USB 2.0 Extender over Cat5e/6 to 100m (328ft) with 2-Port USB-A Receiver
KanexPro EXT-USB2100M USB 2.0 extender: 480Mbps to 100m/328ft over one Cat5e/6 cable, two USB-A ports at the receiver, plug-and-play, one power adapter.
The KanexPro EXT-USB2100M extends USB 2.0 at up to 480Mbps as far as 100 meters (328ft) over a single Cat5e/6 cable — for when the computer sits in a rack or closet and the webcam, touch screen, printer, keyboard and mouse are at the far end of the room. The receiver has two USB-A ports for webcams, touch screens, printers, HID devices and USB hubs. It is plug-and-play with no drivers to install, so AV integrators and IT managers get reliable reach for their USB devices when they do not need USB 3.0 speeds. The signal path is simple: plug the computer into the transmitter's USB-B port, run one Cat5e or Cat6 cable of up to 100m to the compact receiver, and plug your devices into its two USB-A ports. Power over Cable (PoC) means one 12V/1A adapter, at whichever end has an outlet, powers both units. It is built for conference rooms, classrooms, digital signage and healthcare spaces, works with USB 1.1 devices, and is backed by KanexPro’s 3-year parts and labor warranty.

Questions
- Why only 2 USB ports on the receiver?
- Two ports cover the majority of USB 2.0 use cases. Connect a USB hub to one port to expand to additional devices.
- Will this work with my USB webcam for Zoom or Teams calls?
- Yes — USB 2.0 webcams are the ideal use case. Fully plug-and-play, no drivers needed.
- Will it work over existing Cat5e infrastructure?
- Yes — supports Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a up to 100m/328ft.
- Is it backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices?
- Yes — fully backward compatible with USB 1.1 at native speeds.
- Does it need power on both ends?
- No — Power over Cable means only one 12V/1A adapter is needed at either the transmitter or receiver end.
- No device recognized at the receiver — how to troubleshoot?
- Verify Cat5e/6 cable is firmly connected at both ends. Confirm power LED is green on both units. Ensure cable does not exceed 100m.
