C2G CG34020 – 4-Port USB 2.0 over Cat5 Superbooster Extender 328ft

Product Overview

The C2G CG34020 4-Port USB 2.0 over Cat5 Superbooster extends USB 2.0 signals to up to four devices simultaneously over a single Cat5/6 cable at distances up to 328 feet — far beyond the 16.4-foot native USB cable limitation. Designed for commercial AV integration, this USB extender uses true USB 2.0 speed and power, integrated UTP power inserter technology delivering 500mA per port, and requires no software drivers. It is a practical solution for conference rooms, training rooms, and AV installations where USB peripherals must be positioned at the display or presentation end rather than at the source computer.

Product Description

The CG34020 consists of a local transmitter unit that connects to the host computer via USB and a remote receiver unit that provides four USB 2.0 Type-A ports for peripheral connection. A single Cat5 or Cat6 cable carries USB data and power between the two units across the full 328-foot extension run. The integrated UTP power inserter eliminates the need for a separate power supply at the remote end in most peripheral configurations, simplifying installation.

The Superbooster supports all USB 2.0 device types including keyboards, mice, webcams, and other low-to-mid power peripherals. No software drivers are required for any operating system, making deployment fast in managed commercial environments. This extender is compatible with the broader C2G USB extension ecosystem for installations requiring longer runs or additional ports.

No. The CG34020 is a USB 2.0 extender operating at 480 Mbps. USB 3.0 devices will work but at USB 2.0 speeds. For USB 3.1 extension, see the C2G CG29523 4-Port USB 3.1 over Cat6a Extender at creationnetworks.net.

Is a separate power supply needed at the remote end?

The integrated UTP power inserter provides 500mA per port to connected USB devices. For devices requiring more power, a local power supply at the receiver may be needed.

What cable is required?

A single Cat5 or Cat6 cable. Shielded solid-conductor cable is recommended for permanent installation and high-EMI environments.

Does this work with USB keyboards and mice?

Yes. The CG34020 supports all USB 2.0 HID devices including keyboards, mice, and other low-power peripherals alongside higher-bandwidth devices like webcams.
