Overview
About the Black Box ICU504A USB 3.1 Extender over CATx (4-Port)
The ICU504A extends USB 3 at 5 Gbps up to 100 m over CAT6A/7, with four powered ports at the far end and a Gigabit Ethernet pass-through. It is one of the few ways to run a USB 3 4K camera, mic hub and speakerphone to a room PC in a distant rack.
It costs much more than USB 2.0 extenders. If your camera and audio devices work on USB 2.0, a USB 2.0 extender is far cheaper.
