Network transmitter & receiver EXSYS EX-1446

The EXSYS EX-1446 is a reliable network transmitter and receiver designed to extend USB 2.0 connections over standard network cabling. This device enables you to connect various USB peripherals such as printers, scanners, and USB flash drives to your computer over significant distances. Featuring a compact black housing with dimensions of 6.5 cm in width and depth, and a weight of 600 g, the unit integrates smoothly into existing setups without taking up excessive space. It ensures stable signal transmission up to 50 meters using standard Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 cables, providing a practical solution for bridging spatial gaps between a computer and peripheral equipment.

Advantages

The EXSYS EX-1446 offers a straightforward approach to extending USB connectivity without requiring complex software setups. Because it operates without the need for additional drivers, installation is quick and intuitive across compatible computer systems. The support for standard network cabling allows for cost-effective implementation using readily available infrastructure. Furthermore, the device maintains high-speed data transfer rates up to 480 Mbit/s, ensuring that connected peripherals function efficiently even at the maximum supported distance.

Suitable for

• Connecting printers to a computer located in another room or a different part of the office
• Extending access to USB scanners and storage devices over distances up to 50 meters
• Bridging connections between a PC or Mac and USB peripherals using Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 cables
• Environments where standard USB cable length limitations hinder equipment placement

When it may not be suitable

This network transmitter and receiver is not designed to allow simultaneous access from multiple computer systems to the same USB peripheral, as only one computer can access the connected devices at any given time. Additionally, applications requiring active network routing, internet distribution, or complex network switching are not supported by this point-to-point extension hardware.

Key specifications

• Supports USB 2.0 data transfer speeds up to 480 Mbit/s
• Maximum transfer distance of up to 50 meters
• Compatible with Cat5, Cat5e, and Cat6 network cables
• Compact dimensions of 6.5 cm in width and depth
• Device weight of 600 g
• Color: Black

How to use

To set up the EXSYS EX-1446, connect the transmitter unit directly to an available USB port on your computer using a suitable cable. Next, connect the receiver unit directly to your USB peripheral device, such as a printer or scanner. Link the transmitter and receiver together using a standard Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6 network cable up to 50 meters in length. The system operates plug-and-play, meaning no drivers or auxiliary software need to be installed on your operating system for basic functionality.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the maximum required distance between the computer and the USB device does not exceed 50 meters
• Ensure that the correct type of network cable, such as Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6, is available for the installation
• Take into account that only a single computer system can access the connected USB peripheral device at any one time

Usage recommendations: Position both the transmitter and receiver units in well-ventilated areas away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures to maintain stable long-term performance. Ensure that network cables are routed safely to avoid physical strain on the ports and prevent accidental disconnections during operation.
