Cat 5 usb converter

Ethernet lines do that and it works just fine. I suggest the following from the USB to the Cat-5 jack: 1. Reply 2 years ago. This 8 year old comment helped me today , gotta love the internet. Usually you see the wires referred to in terms of pins,I needed colors because I snipped the cable and my eyes are not great to be counting pins. I twisted the corresponding wires together with a regular male usb and plugged into a router and it just worked.

My solder iron skills are not up to par yet, I would like to try this exactly how its done in this instructable with the Ethernet ports themselves. Reply 10 years ago on Introduction. I actually used this configuration for a USB web cam. Just a note, some USB's have an wire insulation that has nothing to do with making the connection just a tip for noobz like myself. I also had to cut down my Cat5 cable to about 3 meters because I was getting an error of non-recognized hardware.

Thanks awesome Instructables and awesome tips! I would like to set-up monitors in my house. Really helpful. Reason being me and neighbor share off of his internet but my usb adapter doesnt pick up signal from his router anymore but does with my outdoor antenna. Tis a shame that usb traffic cannot be routed! Think of the possibilities just plugging in a usb to a network port in a school or office and receiving a file with just a button press!

Thought of using the other way around? It seem that peoples here know nothing about electronics and USB specification So I will let you know why USB can't work over 5 meters.

This is all about timing. So if your cable is longer, the ACK will be received too late, and the USB transceiver will be already in the timeout processus.

It's for that reason that if you want longer cable, you need Active USB repeaters. There is nothing about voltage drop or crosstalk here. You're right. A person would be lucky to get USB 1.

Sometimes we may test the "impossible" and it works. Is there any possibility of this working on a router, am looking forward to connecting a 3g usb dongle to the rj45 wan port of my router running a linux distro so i can establish a dialup connection.
