USB Cable via RJ45 Extender Set (Power Boost Up to 150 feet)

Pros: - Easy to use - Works consistently at 100FT+ in our testing - Reasonable price

Cons: - Does not work at 150FT as specified

Other: Great product, if you need to reliably extend USB up to 100FT this is definitely the product for you.

Pros: Worked first time. (Tested only over a distance of 2 metres)

Cons: None obvious yet.

Other: Looks like it will do what I want it to.

Pros: Almost works as claimed above. I'm using a 20+ foot cable and it works fine.

Cons: There is no way to get USB2 speeds. I've looked around in other forums and everyone says the same thing.

Other: This does what is says, just not USB 2. If you need USB 2 speed, get something else.

Pros: It beats standing in the server room disc jockeying. It's cold and noisy in there, warm and quiet at my desk. Tested over approximately 25 metres of in-wall network wiring plus two 1 metre patch cables, call it 85 feet, give or take. Less than half the price of any equivalent product I found on eBay. Completely transparent to the PC, so should support the box's claim of universal operating system compatibility.

Cons: Like everyone else has mentioned, you're not going to get more than usb1.1 speeds. Copying from a USB flash drive I got exactly 1 megabyte (that's a real, non-lying 1048576 byte megabyte) per second. The packaging says "Hi-speed USB certified", but in context that means something more like "won't stop high-speed devices from working by letting them think they actually can work at 480Mbps"

Other: If you're looking for lightning speeds, you're not going to get them. For installing software on a remote server (using rdp/ssh/vnc for the display) it's excellent.

Pros: Simple to operate, no drivers etc
Works over quite a distance.
Allows cheap USB devices to be extended from the PC.

Cons: Haven't found any.

Other: This product could be handy for ad-hoc requirements.
And remember, DON"T PLUG INTO NETWORK SWITCHES

Pros: Very straightforward usage tested with an MP3 player. Currently using it for a long connection to a printer. Server is located in an inconvenient location so this solved the problem of sharing the printer with all users and having the printer in a convenient location to retrieve the printed documents.

Cons: As listed it is USB1.1
Although that really isn't a con it simply is the product specs. Just make sure you are aware of that.

Other: Works great, easy and simple, tested on WinXP Pro and 2003 SBS.

Pros: +++Can cover a big distance.
+Plug and Play
+Completely transparent for the computer

Cons: -Only usb 1.0
-I have to and both are not manufactured so well. There is no cable tension protection on the USB connectors. Its easy enough to rip of a cable inside the connector. On was delivered with a shortcut with eventually destroyed the device.
-Voltage drop over a long distance. If the device at the other end consumes a high current (like a passive hub with several devices ) there will definetively be a voltage drop which will cause devices to malfuntion. Having a powered hub at the other end to stabilise voltage is a good idea.

Other: I use it to put a HSDPA modem on the roof. Everything is linked up in a waterproof box. Only way to get Internet at my place.

Pros: As always with Dealextreme, it's cheap. Easy to use and has a cable that makes it easy to fasten with tie wraps for permanent installation

Cons: Can't always trust the connection. It says 150ft and that can be true if you only use it with a keyboard or with a powered USB device like a hdd or a camera.

Other: I use this with a keyboard with buildt in mousepad. Even with high quality cable it could struggle over 20 meters. 10 meters cable, ca 33 ft is no problem. I use a lot of cat5 extenders, and this is one of my favorites!

Pros: Extend the distance of USB devices to your computer. Compatible with many devices (tried multiple). RJ45 cables are much cheaper then USB cables or other USB extending solutions.

Cons: None encountered so far.

Other: Buy it! If you want to extend the distance between your USB device and the computer.

Pros: Good price, easy to use (plug n play).

Cons: Slow delivery. You will use your gadget in a very easy way, if you are still alive when it arrives.

Other: If you want to have a desktop and conect it through your house (in more than 15 meters), this is the option.
