AVPro Edge USB 2.0 Point to Point Extender Kit over CAT5e--480mbps. TAA Compliant; Made in the USA

Product Overview

The AVPro Edge USB 2.0 Point-to-Point Extender Kit extends USB 2.0 connectivity up to 480 Mbps over a single CAT5e cable, allowing integrators to place USB peripherals at distances far beyond the 5-meter native USB limit. Built in the USA and fully TAA compliant, this kit is purpose-built for government facilities, enterprise conference rooms, and federally funded installations where domestic sourcing is a procurement requirement. The included transmitter and receiver pair operates as a dedicated point-to-point link, ensuring stable and interference-free USB signal delivery. For AV integrators specifying USB peripherals in permanent installations, this extender provides a reliable, driver-free solution backed by AVPro Edge's professional-grade quality standards.

Product Description

Designed for conference rooms, training facilities, government briefing rooms, and broadcast environments, the AVPro Edge USB 2.0 Point-to-Point Extender Kit solves the practical challenge of positioning USB peripherals—PTZ cameras, USB microphones, interactive whiteboards, and control devices—at meaningful distances from the host computer. The kit transmits full USB 2.0 bandwidth at 480 Mbps over industry-standard CAT5e infrastructure, meaning no proprietary cabling is required. Installation is straightforward: connect the transmitter at the host end, run a CAT5e cable, and connect the receiver at the peripheral end—no drivers are needed for most USB 2.0 devices. The point-to-point architecture eliminates hub latency and packet collisions that can affect USB signal integrity over extended distances. As a TAA-compliant, Made-in-USA product, it satisfies Buy American Act requirements and qualifies for GSA and government procurement schedules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this extender work with PTZ cameras?

Yes. The AVPro Edge USB 2.0 extender is compatible with USB 2.0 PTZ cameras and delivers sufficient bandwidth for video and control data from most conference-room PTZ models.

Is a special cable required?

No. The kit uses standard CAT5e or CAT6 cable, which is typically already installed in commercial spaces. No proprietary cabling is needed.

Does the TAA compliance apply to both units in the kit?

Yes. Both the transmitter and receiver are manufactured in the USA and the complete kit is TAA compliant, satisfying federal procurement requirements.

What is the maximum extension distance?

Performance is cable-dependent, but the kit is designed to operate reliably over the distances typical of commercial CAT5e/6 runs used for USB peripheral extension in AV installations.

Can this be used for a USB microphone or audio interface?

Yes. USB audio devices operating at USB 2.0 speeds are fully compatible with this extender, making it suitable for conference room microphone systems and broadcast audio interfaces.
