Superbooster® USB 2.0 Over Cat5 Wall Plate Transmitter to Dongle Receiver Kit

USB 2.0 extender kit using Cat5/6 cabling to extend signals up to 328 ft (100 m)

The C2G Superbooster CG53878 is a USB 2.0 Over Cat5 Wall Plate Transmitter to Dongle Receiver Kit designed to overcome the 16.4 ft limitation of standard USB cables. This kit is engineered specifically for commercial environments, offering a bidirectional signal transmission with true USB 2.0 speeds of up to 480 MBPS. The system utilizes a highly flexible configuration where the wall plate and dongle components can be interchanged to suit the specific requirements of an installation. The kit uses an active device architecture to maintain high performance over standard Cat5 or Cat6 cabling at distances reaching 328 ft (100 m). Power management is simplified through TruChoice Trademark technology, allowing the 500 mA AC adapter to be connected at either the transmitter or receiver end to provide integrated UTP power. This 500 mA output provides sufficient current to operate most modern USB devices. For a clean, professional aesthetic, the transmitter utilizes a single gang wall plate, while the small-form-factor dongle is designed to be securely tethered to equipment in tight spaces. This solution requires no software or driver installation for deployment. For installers working with interactive displays, this kit is specifically recommended for extending USB signals to support Promethean 300 or 500 series interactive whiteboards.
