Linus brought me here.... This usb extender is excellent... end of story....

We are using this in a recording studio for a Streamdeck to work as a mic kill switch using Companion and an Allen and Heath mixer. Its extending over an 80 foot cat6 cable from the control room to the studio, and then a 15' USB extension cable from the hub to the Streamdeck. Its been working reliably for a few months now.

I bought this product since I’m a professional photographer and was tired of Tethertools being the only realistic option for tethering, and then you’re at the mercy of USB technology and its 15 foot maximum length limitation without booster adapters.The only problem is that the unit on the camera end needs to be powered by a 5V/3A adapter, so you have to have a power source on the camera side, or do what I did and created my own tether cable out of a 25 foot Ethernet cable and a 25 foot adapter extension, wrapped in a nylon-braided sleeve. That way the remote unit on the camera is powered by the cable, and you can plug it in on your tethering station.The only limitation is the voltage drop on the adapter extension, since you can run the Ethernet cable up to 150 feet. With a 25 foot extension the voltage drop is still within acceptable ranges and it works great. You could probably find a higher voltage adapter for longer runs provided the drop is still within range (4.5-5 volts) at the end. There’s voltage calculators online that can tell you this information.I’ve been using this in my studio for about a month now and I have no issues. I have two separate camera bodies I use (Nikon D7200 and a Sony A7II) I can leave both of their USB connector cables attached to the tripod since the remote end has four USB plugs, and I can swap bodies without having to use a different tethering cable.I just plug the camera into the right cable and I’m off to the races.Overall it’s a great product, although I wish they would power the remote unit via PoE (power over Ethernet) instead of with an adapter. That would make it much more of an elegant solution, since you’d only need a single cable instead of the franken-cable I created.

This is a very sturdy and nice-looking little item that does wonders when it works. I had ordered one in the past and I love it! It's been working fine from the first day!This one though, for some reason the signal keeps dropping. I've replaced the cable and cable endings, powering either one of the boxes and it doesn't work properly. It seems as if it has some kind of interference that makes the signal drop making my mouse and keyboard operation stop unexpectedly, then resuming after a few seconds. This is super annoying. I guess I hit the jackpot from the other side of the spectrum. I'll update the rating to a 5 once I receive and test my replacement.

Bought this back in July along with some optical display port cables to put my computer in my basement. It worked flawlessly up until this week late in September. Now it only works with a 6ft ethernet cable and seems to be getting worse.I did get a warranty replacement and now it's working great!

I am really looking for something so I can connect usb to a wireless transmitter to send to pc so I would have wires everywhere.

I bought this to allow me to extend my cord an additional 15ft (~5m) in my office. Th device works as intended.What comes in the box:1x power cable1x transmission (printer cable) - so don't buy one.1x 4-port USB in box with ethernet out (female receiver).1x USB transmission box with ethernet in (female receiver).What you need:Ethernet cable with male connectors the length you want to run it.Up to 4x USB devices.What you need to know:This is a powered device. It comes with the unit. You will need to plug the USB to computer (or Mac) directly and not through a USB hub.I just got it set up today and it works great. I recommend this product. If anything changes, I'll post an update.

I tried a number of solutions to connect my couchmaster lap desk to my PC over 50+ ft of cable. They all failed to provide a reliable connection. This, however, works perfectly. No perceptible lag, quick connection, no drop outs.
