Gefen's Description

Extends any USB device up to 150 feet away the computer.

The mini USB-1 extender extends any USB device up to 150 feet from the location of your computer, eliminating the 17.5 feet distance limitation of USB. The mini USB-1 sender and receiver units use one CAT-5 cable for extension. It is optimized for applications where two devices, such as the keyboard and mouse, must be operated remotely. The USB-1 extender can even be used to extend surveillance cameras for security purposes.
