It is not compatible with USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 speeds. For best results, use shielded Cat6 cabling." **Q: looking to power a Wyse camera, no data just power. Will this work?** A: Why?? For just power, any USB dongle / charger / power wart and any USB extension cable will do. If you have PoE, use any PoE extractor with the appropriate voltage and a USB-A female (or adapter to get that.) **Q: Does this work with ps4, xbox one, etc. controllers? Already extend HDMI, need to get controllers (aside from IR) in other rooms.** A: I bought these and just finished this project. My setup is the following: ViewHD Advanced Low Profile HDMI Extender Qty 2 Tripp Lite Cat6 Gigabit Solid Conductor Snagless These monoprice usb extensions. I have the signal being split and then cloned over the solid core cat6 about 35 feet away. Solid core cat6 is the ONLY suggestion i would give. Skip the flat fancy looking cables. Run this cable and dont care about its color. Get the one that supports the POE as you can put the adapter right on back of tv using command strips no extra power cord needed at Rx end. Second, I plugged the monoprice usb into my xbox and then ran it about 45 ft using the cat6 cable and tested with a 10ft and 6ft braided usb cable. When i did the dry run test it worked flawlessly so I decided to do the full run as seeing the controller fired up and worked. ALWAYS TEST BEFORE RUNNING YOUR SETUP!! The results? WELL....My testing didnt conclude the following...it works 95% great when vibration is turned off, with vibration turned on I think it sucks too much juice and causes the controller to "freeze" and disconnect on both usb cables i tried. I cant explain it otherwise because Ill turn off vibration and I can game on titanfall2 for 30-40 minutrs and then a random disconnect. So in the short, im going to test and see if its the controller /batteries next...otherwise Im not sure if I need to add in a POE injector midway. Hope this helps, and if monoprice has any further input on my situation they can contact me. I will tell you that Im a closet mcguyver that tried to do the best homework I could and so far this is the only hiccup i have. Audio caries through on the new setup too from the controller...its just bittersweet because streaming to my hardwired laptop had the same problems...lag, stutter and random controller disconnects. Oh, and my xb1 is cat6 hardwired. **Q: Can I use this product to connect a wireless router (CAT6) to PC (CAT6 / USB Extender) if PC is hardwired to distant modem?** A: Probably not. This product is intended to extend a USB connection, not extend a network connection. BTW, it will not work for USB2 or USB3 connections. ## Frequently Bought Together - Monoprice USB Extender over CAT5E or CAT6 Connection up to 150ft - HDMI Extender 1080p@60Hz, 3D, Over Single Cat5e/Cat6/Cat 7 Cable Full HD Uncompressed Transmit Up to 164 Ft(50m), EDID and POC Function Supported (Transmitter and Receiver) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/144286638-monoprice-usb-extender-over-cat5e-or-cat6-connection-up-to](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/144286638-monoprice-usb-extender-over-cat5e-or-cat6-connection-up-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-10-01*
