Cable Matters USB Over Ethernet Extender with Power Adapter up to 150 ft - Full USB 2.0 Support for Keyboard, Mouse, Webcam, and More

I needed to extend my USB range at work for a ceiling mounted webcam and it worked as expected. I probably went about 50ft out.

I needed something to take a USB link from a Mac Dock in my server rack to above my monitor in a concealed manner. I happened to have an in-wall Ethernet cable conveniently located. Tried this out and works like a charm.

I have my gaming PC in another room to keep the heat and noise down. This gets the KB/mouse and headset to my desk in another room. Plugged this adapter into a monitor with USB hub and was able to plug in my headset, keyboard, and mouse without issue. Tested writing to a USB NVME drive while all other devices were plugged in and was able to get the full 33MB/s while being able to move the mouse and type without issue. I have a separate device to run the HDMI room to room and it supports keyboard and mouse only. I could not get the headset to work at all. Sucks having to run 2 network cables room to room but it makes a much cleaner desk not having a desktop on the desk or worse on the floor.

Works on a run of Cat5 that exceeds 50 feet. Consistently maintains USB connection for over 5 weeks with no interruption.

I'm using this for a remote PC so I needed to be able to plug a hub into the receiving end to have all my USB things work. I found that not all hubs want to be compatible with this, and you're best off checking device manager to make sure there are no USB device errors. Some stuff would work but still have an error in device manager. Once I found a "root" hub that didn't have issue I had no problems plugged in several mice, keyboards, GoXLR, Stream Deck, two other USB hubs, etc into it. I used a 50ft flat ethernet cable (still coiled up) as a worst-case-scenario test. I also verified that my mouse 1000hz poll rate was still working with this.The only con is that it is USB 2.0 not 3.0, but I figure if I really need full speed for an external hard drive or something I'll just go over to my remote computer and plug in directly. I was able to get 38MB/s from a USB3.1 drive through this, which is reasonably 100% USB 2.0 speed.

I bought this device in April of 2023. It worked flawlessly for about a year hooked up to a USB document camera. The Cat5e cable length was around 40ft. Then something happened and the device would not function with the power supply plugged in. It worked fine without the auxiliary power supply for a few more months until it kept cutting out. Finally it died in October 2024.

I used this to extend a USB 2.0 power/data connection for a low-power device. Without using the power adapter, I saw about a 5% voltage drop over 100ft. Worked just fine for what I needed and sure made it easy to extend the connection length.

As mentioned in other reviews, there is about a 10 second delay when connecting usb drives, but otherwise, it works perfect. I installed this for a customer and they have been very happy with it.
