Eaton Tripp Lite B203-104-IND 4 Port 150ft USB 2 0 Extender Kit

Detailed Specifications

The Eaton Tripp Lite B203-104-IND is a robust, industrial-grade USB 2.0 extender kit designed to overcome the inherent distance limitations of standard USB cabling. This solution effectively extends USB signals up to 150 feet (45.7 meters) over readily available Cat5e/6 cabling, making it ideal for connecting USB peripherals in challenging industrial, commercial, and factory environments where computers and devices must be physically separated. It directly addresses the need for flexible workstation placement and reliable peripheral access in settings prone to electrostatic discharge. Engineered for reliable performance, the B203-104-IND supports USB 2.0 data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps, ensuring smooth operation for high-bandwidth devices like webcams or external hard drives, while also maintaining backward compatibility with USB 1.1. A significant feature is its integrated ±15 kV Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection, safeguarding sensitive connected equipment from static damage common in industrial machinery and shop floor environments. Furthermore, Power over Cable (PoC) technology simplifies deployment by transmitting power to the receiver unit over the Cat5e/6 cable, eliminating the need for an additional power adapter at the remote end. This plug-and-play extender kit comprises a local transmitter and a remote receiver, both housed in durable, heavy-duty all-metal enclosures built to withstand harsh physical conditions. It offers versatile installation options, including wall or DIN rail mounting, to integrate seamlessly into existing infrastructure. Compatible with major operating systems such as Windows, macOS, and Chrome, the B203-104-IND provides a straightforward and reliable solution for extending USB connectivity without requiring complex software installations.
