While there are other options for extending USB 2.0, such as active extension cables, extending over long distances with cat5/6 adapters tends to be more economical as well as convenient. That is because cat5/6 cable is less expensive and can be easily run and terminated to a custom length.
However, we have seen many different comments out there about some of these not delivering what they promise, so we decided to test them to help you decide which one will work better for you.
NOTE: Make sure to check out the full article detailing the specs of the equipment used to make sure any of these solutions will work for your setup. Likewise, we strongly encourage you to give our technical support specialists a call if you have any questions about your setup.
