Lindy 50m CAT5/6 USB 2.0 Extender (LIN42693)

One USB port on the back of the PC. Your printer or external drive is across the room. The cable's too short, and you don't want to buy a $200 active fibre extender for a single device.

This Lindy extender stretches that one USB 2.0 port out to 50 metres using the cheap CAT5/5e/6 network cable you probably already have in the rack. Plug it into the PC, run the cable, plug your device in at the other end. Printer, scanner, storage drive, mouse, keyboard — anything USB 2.0 works.

It's the cheapest way to get that one peripheral where it needs to be without a second machine or a cable swap-out

• Extends a single USB 2.0 port up to 50m
• Runs over standard CAT5/5e/6 network cable — no special cabling
• Compatible with USB 2.0 devices: storage drives, printers, scanners, mice, keyboards
• Single-port design — simple, low-cost fix for one remote peripheral
