As an AV tech volunteer for a small church, I recently faced a problem with the digital mixer Presonus StudioLive 32R's USB 2.0 port. The distance between the mixer and the PC was over 100ft, which exceeded the USB 2.0 length limit specification, and even with an active repeater USB 2.0 extension cable, the PC would sometimes lose contact with the mixer due to signal issues.
To overcome this issue, I purchased a USB extender over ethernet and a 100ft CAT 7 cable to prevent EMI. The setup was plug-and-play, and everything has been working flawlessly.
I highly recommend these adapters if you need a USB connection to your PC and it exceeds the USB 2.0 length limit.
I'm using to extend a hd camera about 110'. I've had zero issues with it so far. Setup is quick and easy. No software issues. And most importantly no lag! I'm happy with it.
I recently needed to extend my USB connection about 50ft from my Mac Studio base unit. In the past, I had used a long active USB cable with my previous Macs, but when I tried it with the Mac Studio, only my mouse was recognized and the keyboard didn't work. After trying various troubleshooting options without success, I decided to try this USB extender since I already had a spare cable run available. I connected the transmitter and receiver, plugged in the Ethernet cable, and was pleasantly surprised to find that all 4 USB ports worked immediately. It's now been running flawlessly for two to three weeks, and I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
Winter astrophotography can be a pain in the butt, especially if you have to freeze your buns off outside for hours. So, I wanted to find a way to control my telescope, focuser, and camera from inside the cozy warmth of my house, which is like 50 feet away from my setup.
I came up with a sweet solution: I mounted a control box at the telescope site and plugged in my USB cables for control and camera imaging. Then, I ran a 50-foot ethernet cable to another box inside and connected my computer's USB cable. Easy peasy.
I fired up SharpCap software and everything connected like a charm, even in freezing temps. I've used this setup a few times now and it's been super reliable, way better than the shaky Wi-Fi connection I had before.
It's awesome being able to control everything from indoors, without risking frostbite or losing feeling in my fingers. Of course, make sure to secure the cables and avoid tripping hazards.
I've been using two sets of this USB extension solution for my church's audio setup, and I'm very satisfied with their performance. I needed to connect USB devices located on the stage to the PlayAudio 12 system in the equipment rack, which is about 25 feet away. These extension cables work perfectly for this purpose.
I use one set to send multi-track audio from a computer to the PlayAudio 12, and the other set to connect a MIDI keyboard controller to the same system. Both setups work flawlessly without any issues.
One thing to keep in mind is the power budget of the devices you're connecting. The specification states that the extension cable can power up to two USB devices that require 500mA each, but the power supply is rated at 1A (1000mA), so the actual power capacity may be limited.
