InLine 57886D USB 3.2 Extender over Cat.6 up to 100m

The InLine 57886D USB 3.2 Extender is a high-performance solution designed to bridge the gap between host systems and USB peripherals over long distances. By utilizing a single Cat.6 network cable, this system enables reliable data transmission up to 100 meters, making it an essential tool for professional environments where hardware needs to be placed far from the computer. The set operates as a point-to-point connection, ensuring stable performance without the need for active network switches.

Advantages

This extender set offers exceptional versatility by supporting USB 3.2 Gen.1 data rates of up to 5 Gb/s, ensuring that high-speed peripherals function without lag. A significant benefit is the bidirectional Power over Cable (PoC) feature, which allows the entire system to be powered from a single end, simplifying cable management and reducing installation complexity. The inclusion of transparent RS-232 and FSYNC pass-through ensures that specialized control and synchronization signals are maintained perfectly. Furthermore, the robust metal housing and included mounting brackets provide a secure and durable installation in industrial or office settings, while the automatic low-power mode ensures energy efficiency during periods of inactivity.

Suitable for

• Extending USB connections in large conference rooms or offices
• Connecting industrial cameras or sensors located far from the control PC
• Professional audio and video setups requiring long-distance peripheral integration
• Secure installations in technical cabinets or server rooms

When it may not be suitable

This device is designed for point-to-point connections and is not intended to be integrated into active network switches or routers. It will not function if connected through standard network infrastructure components.

How to use

To set up the system, connect the transmitter unit to your host computer using a USB cable. Connect the receiver unit to your peripheral devices. Link the transmitter and receiver using a high-quality Cat.6 network cable. Connect the provided power supply to either the transmitter or the receiver; the Power over Cable technology will automatically supply the other unit. Once connected, the system will establish a transparent link, allowing your computer to recognize the remote USB devices as if they were connected directly.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure you have a high-quality Cat.6 or Cat.6a cable for the 100m distance
• Verify that your peripherals do not exceed the power output limits of the receiver ports
• Confirm that your setup requires a direct point-to-point connection

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and stability, always use high-quality Cat.6a shielded network cables and ensure the units are securely mounted using the provided brackets to prevent accidental disconnection.
