LogiLink USB 2.0 Cat.5 Extender with 4-Port Hub, 50 m, Black

Most USB extenders simply bridge a connection; the LogiLink UA0230 goes further by turning a single remote USB port into four, all over inexpensive Cat.5/5e/6 cabling. This 50-metre extender pairs a compact sender with a receiver that integrates a 4-port USB 2.0 hub, so you can connect printers, scanners, cameras, external drives, or any USB peripheral at distance without sacrificing speed or reliability.

Highlights

• Extends USB 2.0 signals up to 50 m over standard Cat.5/5e/6 Ethernet cable (not included)
• Receiver unit includes a 4-port USB 2.0 hub for simultaneous connection of up to four devices
• Supports high-speed data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps, backward compatible with USB 1.1
• Plug-and-play installation with no driver required; works with Windows, macOS, and Linux
• Includes external 5V DC, 2A power adapter for stable operation of connected devices
• LED indicators for power and link/activity provide clear status at a glance
• Compact black plastic housing blends discreetly into office or industrial environments

In daily use

Setup is straightforward: connect the sender unit to your computer's USB port, run a Cat.5/5e/6 cable (up to 50 m) to the receiver, and plug in the included power adapter. The receiver's four USB Type-A ports can then serve printers, scanners, cameras, external drives, or any USB peripheral. Because the extender is transparent to the operating system, you can use it with any PC, Mac, or Linux machine without installing software. The sturdy metal RJ45 connectors ensure a reliable link, while the compact black plastic housing fits neatly on a desk or in a rack.
