Product Overview

The C2G CG53878 USB 2.0 over Cat5 Superbooster Wall Plate Transmitter to Dongle Receiver Kit extends USB 2.0 signals up to 328 feet over a single Cat5 or Cat6 cable, combining a wall plate transmitter for a clean permanent installation at the source end with a compact dongle receiver at the peripheral end. Designed for conference rooms, huddle spaces, and commercial AV environments, this kit supports USB 2.0 cameras, speakerphones, and peripherals at true 480 Mbps speeds with no software drivers required. The wall plate transmitter fits a standard single-gang electrical box; the dongle receiver plugs directly into the peripheral or a nearby USB hub.

Product Description

The wall plate transmitter connects to the host computer via USB and mounts in a standard single-gang electrical box, providing a finished, professional USB connection point at the presentation or conferencing location. The Cat5 or Cat6 cable runs through the wall to the remote location, where the dongle receiver connects to the USB peripheral. Integrated UTP power inserter technology delivers 500mA per port to connected devices without a separate remote power supply in most configurations.

The wall plate and dongle units are interchangeable with the CG53880 all-dongle kit, allowing integrators to mix formats across installations. No software drivers are required. This kit is validated for use with Google Chromebox for Meetings and Logitech USB video conferencing systems.
