Overview

The KanexPro EXT-USB250M extends USB 2.0 at 480Mbps up to 50 meters (164ft) over a single Cat5e/6 cable — delivering two USB-A ports at the remote end for webcams, touch screens, printers, HID devices, and USB hubs. The Transmitter draws power directly from the host USB-B port, while the Receiver uses a compact 5V/1A adapter. Completely plug-and-play with no driver installation required.

Designed for smaller conference rooms, classrooms, and digital signage environments where 164ft of USB reach is sufficient, the EXT-USB250M is the compact, cost-effective entry point in the KanexPro USB extender range. Backward compatible with USB 1.1 and backed by KanexPro’s 3-year parts and labor warranty.

No device recognized at the Receiver — how to troubleshoot?
Confirm the 5V/1A adapter is connected to the Receiver DC 5V port. Verify Cat5e/6 cable connects CAT OUT on TX to CAT IN on RX. Ensure cable does not exceed 50m (40m for USB hubs).
What is the maximum transmission distance?
50m/164ft for most USB 2.0 devices. Note: some USB 2.0 hubs are limited to 40m/131ft due to timing requirements.
Will this work with my USB webcam for video conferencing?
Yes — USB 2.0 webcams are the ideal use case. Fully plug-and-play, no drivers needed.
Does it work over existing Cat5e infrastructure?
Yes — supports Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a up to 50m/164ft.
Does the Transmitter need its own power adapter?
No — the Transmitter draws power directly from the host PC's USB-B port. Only the Receiver needs the included 5V/1A adapter.
Is it backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices?
Yes — fully backward compatible with USB 1.1 at native speeds.
