It conditions USB signals to communicate up to 60m using low-cost Cat 5/Cat 5e/Cat 6 cable. The kit includes one local unit with a 1 ft USB cable attached and one remote unit. Compact dimensions and lightweight design make the ATEN USB 1.1 Over Cat5e/6 Extender UCE60-AT easy to integrate into desktop or rack installations where extended USB connectivity is required.

Advantages

It supports connection of local USB devices such as keyboards and mice directly at the transmitter, preserves signal integrity over the extended distance, and has a compact grey enclosure with low weight for discreet placement.

How to use

Connect the local unit to the host computer using the attached 1 ft USB cable. Run a Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6 cable between the local and remote units up to 60 meters in length. Plug the USB peripheral or hub into the remote unit to establish communication. Ensure cables are securely connected and avoid routing near high-voltage power lines to minimise interference.

Recommendations

For best results use quality Cat5e or Cat6 cable and keep cable runs within the 60 m specification. If multiple USB devices are connected through a hub at the remote end, verify power requirements—use a powered hub if peripherals need external power.
