USB extension cables are typically suitable to support connections that are 9. 8 feet (3 m) or less in distance. Extension cables come with single and multiple USB port support, depending on your need.
USB extenders are generally able to support distances of up to 164 feet (50 m). The length depends on the length of Ethernet cable that you use. Ethernet cables can transfer data further distances than typical USB cables without having the data transfer deteriorate.
USB over IP devices should be used when you want to connect your USB device to a network. This will allow every other device on the network to access it. Distance depends on the length of both the USB cable and Ethernet cable used.
Wireless USB connections allow multiple wireless devices in a close proximity to network and use a device connected directly to the wireless transmitter. These typically support distances of 9. 8 feet (3 m) but can be extended beyond that. It is not recommended to exceed 32. 8 feet (10 m).
