Network transmitter & receiver Lindy 50m 2 Port USB 2.0 Cat. 6 Extender

The Lindy USB 2.0 Cat.6 Extender increases the distance between USB peripheral devices and a host computer up to 50 m using a standard Cat.6 network cable (cable not included). It supports USB 2.0 data transmission over a point-to-point link between a transmitter and receiver, and is designed for stable operation with solid core patched cables for best compatibility and performance.

Advantages

The extender supports bidirectional Power over Cable (PoC), allowing a single power supply at either the transmitter or receiver to feed both units via the Cat.6 cable. The units feature a robust metal housing with integrated mounting brackets for reliable installation in industrial or commercial environments. Using a standard, low-cost Cat.6 cable reduces cabling expense and simplifies deployment.

Key specifications

• Maximum extension distance: 50 m
• Interface: USB 2.0
• Cable type: Cat.6 network cable (not included) — solid core recommended
• Power: Bidirectional Power over Cable (PoC)
• Construction: Metal housing with integrated mounting brackets
• Connection topology: Point-to-point (transmitter ↔ receiver)

How to use

Connect the transmitter unit to the USB host (PC) and the receiver unit to the USB peripheral device. Link the transmitter and receiver with a Cat.6 network cable up to 50 m long. Provide power to either the transmitter or the receiver unit; PoC will supply the paired unit over the Cat.6 cable. Verify that the connected USB device is compatible with USB 2.0 and use a solid core patched Cat.6 cable for optimal performance.

Recommendations

For best results use a solid core Cat.6 patch cable up to 50 m and a single dedicated power supply placed at either the transmitter or receiver. Avoid using cable runs with multiple connectors or poor-quality stranded patch cables to maintain stable USB 2.0 performance.
