Black Box IC282A 2-Port USB 1.1 Extender over CATx

Move USB devices farther from the host without sacrificing control. The Black Box IC282A extends a USB 1.1 connection over CATx to support two peripherals, giving IT teams a clean way to place keyboards, mice, printers, webcams, interactive whiteboards, and similar devices where users actually need them. This extender is built for environments where the desktop cable limit is not enough. It supports distances up to 328 ft (100 m) over CATx, which makes it useful in industrial control areas, factory floors, classrooms, and meeting rooms where equipment placement and user access rarely align. By carrying USB beyond the immediate workstation, it helps reduce clutter at the host and keeps peripherals in the right location. The IC282A also supplies up to 500 mA, which matters when connected devices need more than a basic signal path. For organizations that need dependable peripheral extension without moving the host system, this is a focused solution that solves a real infrastructure problem with minimal complexity.
