Highlights
- Extends a USB connection up to 40 meters using standard CAT5e cabling.
- Lets USB peripherals, such as cameras, microphones, or speakerphones, be placed far from the host device.
- Simple sender-and-receiver kit, applicable to nearly all USB peripherals.
- Uses standard CAT5e structured cabling, fitting cleanly into existing room wiring plans.
- Includes a dedicated 48V/0.7A power adapter, no additional hardware required.
- Two-year hardware warranty.
Ideal For
- Mid-to-large meeting rooms where a USB peripheral sits far from the room PC or codec
- Ceiling, wall, or table camera and microphone placements beyond standard USB cable-length limits
- AV integrations built on structured CAT5e cabling
- Rooms extending a USB camera, microphone, or speakerphone without relocating the host device

Yealink USB2CAT5E-EXT USB Extender over CAT5E, up to 40 Meters (1303109)
The USB2CAT5E-EXT solves a common integration problem in mid-to-large meeting rooms: the distance between a USB peripheral and the device driving it. Standard USB cabling is limited to a few meters, which constrains where a camera can be mounted or a microphone placed. This extender carries a USB connection up to 40 meters over standard CAT5e cabling, using a matched sender and receiver pair with a dedicated power adapter.
Because it relies on CAT5e rather than proprietary cabling, it fits cleanly into existing structured wiring plans and is straightforward to terminate during a room build. It is applicable to nearly all USB peripherals, so it can extend a USB camera, microphone, or speakerphone to a ceiling, wall, or table location that a direct USB cable cannot reach. Before ordering, confirm the required cable run length is within the 40 meter limit, and confirm the specific USB peripheral is compatible with extension over this kit.

Certifications and Compatibility
- USB peripherals: applicable to nearly all USB peripherals, including cameras, microphones, and speakerphones.
- Cabling: uses standard CAT5e structured cabling, tailored in length to the specific deployment, up to 40 meters.
- Deployment: fits into existing structured wiring plans, straightforward to terminate during a room build.
- Compatibility with a specific device should be confirmed against that device's USB extension support before deployment.
Design Considerations
- Confirm the required run length is within the 40 meter limit before specifying the extender.
- Plan CAT5e cable routing during room design, since the run replaces a direct USB cable to the peripheral.
- Confirm the target USB peripheral (camera, microphone, or speakerphone) is suited to extension over this kit.
- Position the power adapter for the deployment, since the extender relies on its own dedicated power rather than USB bus power alone.
- For multi-room standardization, specify a consistent extender approach so every room places distant peripherals the same way.
Licensing, Warranty & Support
No license or subscription applies to the USB2CAT5E-EXT. It is covered by a two-year hardware warranty, with terms available from Yealink or an authorized reseller at the time of purchase.
VideoConferenceGear.com Assistance
We can confirm the USB2CAT5E-EXT is the right solution for placing a USB camera, microphone, or speakerphone beyond standard USB cable-length limits, and help plan the CAT5e run within the 40 meter maximum. We can verify compatibility with your specific USB peripheral, advise on cable routing and power adapter placement during room design, and standardize the extension approach across a multi-room or multi-site rollout so every space places distant peripherals consistently.
