What customers say
This Sabrent USB extender offers excellent value for extending basic peripherals like keyboards and mice over long distances using standard network cable. Users praise its simple plug and play setup, making it ideal for classrooms or home offices where the host PC is remote. The core positive theme centers on its budget friendly approach to low demand extension. However, performance limitations are a significant drawback. Sentiment becomes negative when attempting high bandwidth tasks such as connecting webcams or external drives. Reliability decreases noticeably as cable runs approach the maximum advertised distance, particularly with lower quality Cat cable. The unit also struggles to consistently power devices needing higher current draw. It is best suited for reliable, low speed extension within moderate distances.
