Works well with a keyboard or mouse. Won't work reliably with USB hub, power is optional but doesn't come with power cord. I bought this to try and extend a mouse and keyboard over ethernet. Works solid with a 1-1 connection, even without power.I tried using with a Belkin USB Plus Hub, both with and without power to the IOGear extender with the same result- interruptions in use of the mouse. This is still a LOT cheaper than a commercial grade powered hub extender.

Works perfet. Great option to a huge USB issue

Pros: -The price is respectable
-Detection by windows 7 was no big deal
-Did a PC-USBHUB-GUCE51-USBHUB-Barcode scanner connection with good result
-Quite smallCons: The brand of the hub you connect after this device will determine if it works or not. I had two different hub at work and only one of the two worked correctly.You dont seem to be able to use two of these unit in a connection (like PC-GUCE51-USBHUB-GUCE51-Device) which would have been fantastic.-The price is respectable

You dont seem to be able to use two of these unit in a connection (like PC-GUCE51-USBHUB-GUCE51-Device) which would have been fantastic. If you need to connect a power supply to it you can always look for the SONY PSP handheld device power supply (be carefull to take the 5V and 2000ma model as the other model wont supply enought current). You can find it for around 15$ in big retail store.

Pros: I was going to try this but then I realized I didn't have it. Couldn't be bothered ordering it.Cons: Price way to high???I was going to try this but then I realized I didn't have it. Couldn't be bothered ordering it. Price way to high??? Went to bed instead.

Used for digital cameraes + mouse/ keyboard. Does the job of extending your USB connection, but lowers your bandwidth. Stable. Had two pair of these - no connection problems.

I bought these to use with a USB camera. They do not work with the camera I have. I am not sure if its just not sending enough power the 100 ft I have the camera away or what. There is an aux power port on the side but I can't get 5V 2A power out to it where I have it mounted. I also tried with a mouse and it worked but the connections are really flakey. If there is any movement in the cable I lose the mouse and have to unplug it and plug it back in before it will work again. The connectors are not held well inside the casing.

When I contacted the manufacturer for support they said I

Pros: Works like a charm. Hardest part of using this was running my Cat5 cable.Cons: Kept getting random disconnects when using with a hub. No disconnect problems when using without a hub. Tried 3 different brand hubs, powered and unpowered and still had the random disconnects.Works like a charm. Hardest part of using this was running my Cat5 cable.

If you need more than one port at the end, you're better off going with an extender with a built in hub. And those are more expensive.

Pros: Works great without any loss in the USB device.Cons: I would love to see this item in USB 2.0, but for what I am using it for it's not necessary.Works great without any loss in the USB device. I would love to see this item in USB 2.0, but for what I am using it for it's not necessary. I am using this for a Sprint Wireless Broadband U720 USB device, which is sitting in my upstairs window.
Through this device I extended it to my downstairs PC and connected without problems 175' feet away. Far exceeding a USB 16? foot limit.

Pros: It will extend anything USB beyond that 16ft max...Cons: It does not come with a power supply which stinks because the one that is needed costs arouns $30 at Radio Shack.

If you need something that will extend a usb cord, this is it but be prepared to pay $...

Pros: Worked perfectly right out of the box. Nothing to install, nothing to modify. I highly recommend this for extending any USB item beyond 16 feet.Cons: noneWorked perfectly right out of the box.
