Overview

System Overview

The EVX6‐USB‐KT‐POE kit extends USB2 and power over a single standard CATx cable for distances of up to 100m / 328ft with data rates up to 480Mb/s. It is a Plug and Play solution that doesn’t require any driver installation. The kit includes a Host-Side Extender that connects to a Computer via a USB cable and a Device-Side Extender that connects to the remote USB peripheral. The Device-Side Extender provides 5V at 2A or 12V at 2A to the peripheral device over a USB‐C cable or 12V at up to 2A via the optional (included) DC power cable, eliminating the need for outlets near the peripheral.

Compact Enclosure enables Easy Integration

At 97.1 x 62 x 21mm (device side) and 103 x 52 x 21mm (host side), the extenders fit into tight spaces. Screw tabs allow simple surface mounting or fastening to a rack shelf. The compact size, ease of mounting, and remote power features make the extender ideal for USB cameras and small peripherals.

A Universal USB and Power Extender

Valens' USB and Power Extender provides USB devices with up to 24W over USB-C, while other devices can receive 12V at 2A via the DC power jack. Take your projects beyond standard USB cable lengths and the limitations of other fixed-length extension solutions. Applications needing cable lengths beyond USB-IF specifications can benefit from a Category 6a cable extension up to 100m (328ft), eliminating the need for AC power interfaces near the peripheral.
