Gefen EXT-USB-MINI2 Mini USB Extender
Built-in 2-port USB hub, extends USB connections up to 150 feet
Gefen EXT-USB-MINI2 Audio Extender
The Gefen EXT-USB-MINI2 makes it simple to extend USB devices up to 150 feet using a single CAT5 cable. Please notice that the "2" on the product label relates to the fact that the extender has a handy built-in 2-port USB hub - not to the USB 2.0 specification. The EXT-USB-MINI2 is suitable for USB speeds up to 12 megabits per second, which is the maximum speed supported by the USB 1.1 specification.
Warranty
Cable Solutions backs the EXT-USB-MINI2 with a one year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty is separate from any warranty that may be provided by the manufacturer, so you must contact Cable Solutions for all warranty-related issues.
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.
