Questions
- Will it work over existing Cat5e infrastructure?
- Yes — supports Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a up to 100m/328ft.
- Is it backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices?
- Yes — fully backward compatible with USB 1.1 at native speeds.
- Why only 2 USB ports on the receiver?
- Two ports cover the majority of USB 2.0 use cases. Connect a USB hub to one port to expand to additional devices.
- Does it need power on both ends?
- No — Power over Cable means only one 12V/1A adapter is needed at either the transmitter or receiver end.
- No device recognized at the receiver — how to troubleshoot?
- Verify Cat5e/6 cable is firmly connected at both ends. Confirm power LED is green on both units. Ensure cable does not exceed 100m.
- Will this work with my USB webcam for Zoom or Teams calls?
- Yes — USB 2.0 webcams are the ideal use case. Fully plug-and-play, no drivers needed.
