Gefen MINI2 USB-2 Extender with Hub

Extends USB connections up to 150 feet using a single CAT-5 cable

The Gefen EXT-USB-MINI2 makes it simple to extend USB devices up to 150 feet using a single CAT5 cable.  The USB-2 extender has a handy built-in 2-port USB hub and is suitable for USB speeds up to 12 megabits per second, which is the maximum speed supported by the USB 1.1 specification.

Gefen's description

Extends any USB device up to 150 feet (45 meters) with built-in 2 port HUB over one CAT-5 cable.

The mini USB-2 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-2 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-2 extender can even be used to extend surveillance cameras for security purposes.

How it works
The mini USB-2 extender sender unit is connected to the computer using the supplied USB cable. The remote peripheral(s) are connected to the receiver unit. A category-5 (CAT-5) cable is used to link the sender to the receiver.
