USB cables are now powering the vast majority of computer peripherals from webcams to keyboards and printers. Many users in an office or home setting run into a problem at one time or another with the length limitations of a USB cable. With a maximum length of 5 meters, it’s easy to run out of cable before you get your USB devices where you want them.Cables to Go has a new product that extends USB over CAT 5 cable and looks very slick doing it. All you need to do is run your CAT 5 cable like you would for networking, and then you use the Cables to Go USB Superbooster Wall Plate. This wall plate allows you to place any USB peripheral up to 150 feet away. For easy installation, the wall plate even uses tool-less termination and the plate requires no external power to operate. Pricing is $129.99 and the plate is available now.About Everything USB
