## Summary description

Lindy 50m 4 Port USB 2.0 Cat.6 Extender (model 42681) is a network transmitter and receiver pair that extends USB 2.0 connections up to 50 m over Cat.6 cabling at up to 480 Mbit/s. The kit provides four downstream USB ports, uses gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts, and is housed in metal. It requires 24 V/0.5 A power (3.5/1.35 mm DC) and is CE/UKCA/FCC/RoHS/REACH certified, suitable for connecting peripherals such as keyboards, mice, webcams and storage to remote hosts in offices, classrooms or AV installations.

## Long description

The Lindy USB 2.0 Cat.6 Extender extends the distance between up to four USB 2.0 peripheral devices and a host computer by as much as 50 m over standard Cat.5e/6 cabling. The kit includes a transmitter and receiver pair that deliver USB 2.0 data rates (up to 480 Mbit/s) and provides four downstream USB ports in a durable metal housing with integrated mounting brackets. The transmitter requires a single 24 V / 0.5 A DC power supply; the receiver is powered via the cable, allowing flexible placement of connected devices without a separate power adapter at the remote end.
Advantages
The extender supports full-speed and high-speed USB 2.0 devices across a single Cat.5e/6 cable up to 50 m, simplifying wiring for remote peripherals. Metal enclosures and mounting brackets provide robust protection and make the units suitable for professional and AV installations. Gold-plated contact connectors improve connection reliability, and Power over Cable reduces the need for an additional power supply at the receiver end.
Suitable for
Connecting keyboards and mice to a host computer located up to 50 m away
Extending webcams or conference cameras for meeting rooms and classrooms
Connecting USB storage or backup devices in AV installations
Integrating USB peripherals in office workstations, kiosks, or industrial setups
When it may not be suitable
This extender is designed for USB 2.0 devices and supports data rates up to 480 Mbit/s; it is not appropriate for native USB 3.x devices that require higher bandwidth. Performance depends on cable quality and installation: using poor or damaged cabling can reduce reliability and data throughput. The product requires a compatible 24 V / 0.5 A DC power supply connected to the transmitter to enable Power over Cable.

How to use
Install the transmitter close to the host computer and connect it to the host USB port. Plug a standard Cat.5e or Cat.6 cable between the transmitter and receiver units, and connect the required 24 V / 0.5 A DC power supply to the transmitter's power jack. Place the receiver near the remote USB devices and connect up to four peripherals to the receiver's USB ports. For best performance and compatibility use solid core patched Cat.5e/6 cables and ensure cables and connectors are undamaged.
What to consider before purchase
Required device compatibility: suitable for USB 2.0 peripherals (high/full-speed)
Cable type and quality: use Cat.5e or Cat.6 solid core patched cables for best results
Power requirements: needs a 24 V / 0.5 A DC power supply connected to the transmitter

Usage recommendations
For reliable operation, use high-quality solid core Cat.6 cable, keep cable runs under 50 m, and mount units using the integrated brackets. Connect the recommended 24 V / 0.5 A power supply to the transmitter to enable Power over Cable and avoid placing the power supply at the receiver end.
