## Summary description

HP adapter for BL45P (model 340388-001-RFB) provides USB connectivity over CAT5 cabling. Designed to extend USB signals via Cat5 network cable, it is intended for use with compatible BL45P systems and peripherals to enable remote USB device connection. Useful for installations requiring longer USB runs without active USB extenders.

## Long description

The HP BL45P USB CAT5 Adapter (compatible with model 340388-001-RFB) enables USB device connectivity over standard Cat5 cabling. This adapter is designed to carry USB signals between a BL45P host system and remote USB peripherals using existing network cable infrastructure, allowing longer cable runs than typical USB cables while remaining passive and compatible with supported HP equipment.
Advantages
This adapter allows extension of USB connections without requiring active USB extenders or repeaters, reducing additional power or complex hardware needs. It uses widely available Cat5 cabling, simplifying installation where network cable is already routed. The solution maintains plug-and-play operation with compatible BL45P systems and common USB peripherals, providing a straightforward method to place devices farther from the host system.
Suitable for
 Connecting printers, scanners or USB input devices to BL45P host systems at a distance
 Installations where existing Cat5 cabling is available and USB extension is required
 Environments that need passive USB signal extension without adding powered extenders
Key specifications
 Function: USB signal extension over twisted-pair Cat5 cabling
 Connector types: USB connector for host/peripheral side and Cat5 RJ45 interface for cable link
 Cable compatibility: Standard Cat5/Cat5e twisted-pair network cable
 Intended use distance: Longer than standard USB cable runs when used with compatible BL45P equipment (distance depends on cable quality and environmental conditions)
 Design: Passive adapter relying on host and peripheral compatibility
How to use
Connect the adapter to the BL45P host USB port and attach a Cat5 cable between the adapter and the remote unit or matching adapter connected to the peripheral. Ensure both ends are securely seated and that the Cat5 cable is in good condition and properly terminated. After physical connection, power on the host and attached USB device; the system should detect the peripheral if it is supported by the BL45P environment. For best results, use Cat5e or better cabling and avoid routing near sources of strong electromagnetic interference.
Usage recommendations
Use high-quality shielded or unshielded Cat5e or Cat6 cabling and keep cable length within practical limits for passive extension; verify peripheral compatibility with the BL45P host before deployment. Avoid bending or kinking the cable and route away from high-voltage lines or large motors to minimize signal degradation.
