The Black Box USB 1.1 Extender - CATx, 2-Port is engineered for environments where USB devices must live farther from the host than standard USB cables allow. This two-port extender uses category copper cabling to carry USB 1.1 signals, unlocking flexible device placement across rooms, behind equipment racks, or in shared workspaces. Built for reliability, it preserves backward compatibility with legacy USB devices and host controllers, making it an ideal solution for offices, classrooms, control rooms, and industrial settings where clean, organized wiring is essential. With two downstream USB 1.1 ports, you can power and connect peripherals without sacrificing performance or ease of use. The design emphasizes simple setup and robust operation, so you can deploy USB peripherals exactly where you need them without clutter or downtime.

  • Extends USB 1.1 connections over CATx (Cat5e/6) cabling, enabling flexible placement of peripherals far beyond standard USB cable reach.
  • Two USB 1.1 ports provide the ability to connect two devices such as keyboards, mice, flash drives, or legacy peripherals, while preserving full-speed and low-speed operation up to 12 Mbps.
  • Backward compatible with standard USB hosts and devices, ensuring smooth integration with existing computers and peripherals without requiring new hardware or drivers.
  • Compact, durable enclosure designed for office desks, equipment racks, and industrial environments, with unobtrusive wiring and easy installation.
  • Minimal setup with transmitter and receiver units connected by a CATx cable; designed for quick deployment in dynamic workspaces and testing labs.

How to install Black Box USB 1.1 Extender - CATx, 2-Port

Installing the USB 1.1 extender is designed to be straightforward, with clear endpoints and a simple CATx link. For optimal reliability in busy office or industrial spaces, follow best practices for cable routing and power placement to minimize interference and maximize signal integrity.

  • Place the transmitter unit near the USB host computer and connect the host to the transmitter using a standard USB cable to establish the upstream connection.
  • Position the receiver unit close to the USB devices you intend to use and connect each device to the corresponding downstream USB ports on the receiver.
  • Run a CAT5e/6 cable between the transmitter and receiver, ensuring the cable is securely shielded from physical damage and EMI sources.
  • Provide power to the extender if required by your installation: attach any included power adapters or supply external power per the product manual.
  • Power on the host, the extender, and all connected peripherals, then verify device recognition in the operating system and test basic input/output functions to confirm a stable, working setup.

Best Cotton "Pillows" I've Ever Used
How much do I love these soft, thick, and durable cotton pads? I got tired of running out (I use them every day) so I ordered a carton with packages of 100! So simple to use...there's a tiny "pocket" on one side you can put your fingertip in for accuracy, if you choose! They soak up enough nail polish remover to do the job, but are so strong they don't shred like a cotton ball would.

The best gentle pad
I use these constantly to clean my Chinchilla Persian Cats nose which is always leaking. These pads are gentle on his nose and don't shed which I luv. There"s a little slit on one side to use if you want to slip your finger into to hold. These pads are soft on both sides. I dampen them before using. The shape to me is better than the round pads and also the edges are not rough like many round pads are.

soft and cottony.
Soft, cottony, do not dissolve immediately. I use these to soak my eyes with warm water and they hold well for the 4-5 times of soaking and putting on the eyelids ordered by my ophtamologist. They won't hold for more that 4-5 soaks though. They are also excellent for eye make-up removal.

These cotton balls are large
Because these are so large, you only need one. They’re more expensive, but because you only need one, they go a long way. They’re worth the he price, I think. The ones I’ve bought that are cheaper & much smaller, you usually have to use 3-4 balls. Try ‘em you’ll love them!
