Description
Tripp Lite’s B203-101-PNP 1-Port Plug-and-Play USB 2.0 over Cat5/Cat6 Extender Kit transmits data
from your computer to a USB 2.0 peripheral up to 164 ft. (50 m) away. It has plug-and-play functionality,
meaning you don’t have to install drivers or software. For added convenience, the transmitter has a built-in
USB-A cable for connection to your computer. The USB signals travel between the transmitter and
receiver units over user-supplied Cat5/Cat6 cable. It’s a simple, cost-effective solution for connecting your
computer to a printer or other USB peripheral that lacks network connectivity and is farther than 16 feet
away from your computer, which is the distance limitation for USB cables. For example, you can use the
B203-101-PNP to connect an impact printer to a server in another room. This extender kit is also
convenient for making connections in areas without network availability.

Owner’s Manual
By using Cat5/Cat6 cable to carry signals, the B203-101-PNP extends your installation farther than is
possible with standard USB cables. Plus, Cat5/Cat6 cabling is readily available at low cost. For maximum
signal integrity, use solid-conductor Cat5/Cat6 UTP cabling, such as Tripp Lite’s N202-series. The B203-
101-PNP extender kit can achieve data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps. It’s backward compatible with USB
1.1 peripherals, but at USB 1.1 speeds. The B203-101-PNP works with all major operating systems
(Windows and Mac). Complies with the Federal Trade Agreements Act (TAA) for GSA Schedule
purchases.
