How To Make a pair of USB over Ethernet adaptors | Ethernet Extension Cable

- This is a DIY video on making a pair of USB to Ethernet adapters. One adapter will convert a USB 2.0 connection to an Ethernet connection and the other will convert from Ethernet connection to USB 2.0 connection.
With these adapters you will be able to connect an extension cable between them (in the form of an Ethernet Cable). This will allow you to operate your low powered USB 2.0 devices (mouse, keyboard, dongles) over a longer range.
These adapters will only operate in pairs and are not intended for connecting ethernet devices to USB ports. Doing so may damage your device and/or USB port. Also these will not work over POE devices.
The maximum length of extension is limited by the power required by the USB 2.0 device. It is therefore recommended to use these adaptors with mice, keyboards, dongles and charge cables.
All products featured in the video are available to purchase from Amazon.

Good clear voice and follow along instructions. Thanks
Thank you for the positive feedback.
wow man! this's exactly what i'm looking for!
Great stuff, clearly explained. Thanks very much.

OUTSTANDING!!!!
thanks man,
your ideas is brilliant
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
If I were to create this cable. Ethernet on one end and female usb on the other end. could I plug a USB wifi adapter to it and have it working? If it would work, what wiring diagram should I follow?
Thank you very much!
Will it work If I'm connecting it to a wifi adptar(usb) then to my pc(ethernet)?
does it support usb 3g/4g dongle modem on router ?
may i use this process cctv dvr
can i use it on internet browsing
Thank you very much
Can I use this conversion to connect a pendrive to my wifi router which doesn't have a usb female port?
Is this good for gaming
Brother please provide online link for these items from where i can buy them
Thank you for this video! I do have a question though. If I were to plug the ethernet cable adapter into one power line network box, then the other ethernet adapter into the other power line network box, would I be able to communicate a usb device through my power outlets? For example, a printer, into the adapter through the power line network boxes, into the other adapter, then to my computer. I guess what I need to figure out is if those power line network boxes output data the same way it receives it....
Thank you for you comment. In answer to your question, this method will not work to send USB over a power line adaptor. The reason for this is because the power line adaptor manages network activity and will not understand USB data. My method only makes use of the ethernet cable for its twisted pairs, there is no conversion of data involved. I have tested this for you and the USB device no recognized error is shown (not due to cable length). I hope you can find an alternate solution to your problem
I was just about to test it out lol, thank you for you fast response. I'm still going to make these adapters, i could use some longer usb cables.
HA HA HA LOL LOL HELP ME HELP ROFL
Works with a webcam?
Hi, could you please share how to share usb printer to the router ?
The red voltage line and black ground line are impossible to fit into a standard ethernet pin holes! Nice slide of hand pinning them out of frame. I had to strip the red and black wires more to fit them into the pin holes. Unfortunately I don't have a plug so I can't check to see if it will actually work, but I am definitely going to play with this until I get it to work.
Red Voltage ~ Pin#1, Black Ground ~ Pin#2, Green Positive ~ Pin#3, White Negative ~ Pin#6
DID NOT WORK...
Also now my USB drive doesn't recognize anything.
HOW long is the maximum.Length?
What about creating USB lane alongside Ethernet? Both use 4 wires, single Ethernet cable should be enough - I'm sure it's possible electrically, what about cross-talk / interference ?
You're right. Crosstalk won't be a problem as long as USB data and 5V power are using twisted pairs from the ethernet (USB D-/D+ using brown/brown-white from ethernet, etc..). Better yet have a different 5V supply at the other end because ethernet wire are thin and low power so not good for carrying low voltage USB power.
cool, thanks for share....
Hey I want to no how you do that tell me plzzz
I just connected USB connectors directly on to CAT 5 cable. I doubled up on the +5V and ground. Was able to send webcam over 10 meters with no degradation, using only USB power from computer (Had to be plugged into the highest power USB connector on my puter, but that was the case even when using a 3 meter USB cable.)
I didn't explore the limits with this, but I'm guessing whatever they are, they will increase using later categories; CAT 5E, 6, etc.
I dunno why they don't sell USB cables made this way, instead the options only seem to be inline powered extension cable, or USB over ethernet "baluns" (basically what I think they're making in this video.) And actually, I made this cable when the $35 USB 10 meter powered extension cable didn't work.
What exactly do you mean with 'doubled up'? E.g. connecting the gnd from the usb to a whole pair (so two cables) of the ethernet instead of just one?
@@Flieger46 I used one twisted pair for data. Of the 3 remaining twisted pairs, I connected all the solid colors together to form one conductor (5V) and all the striped colors together to form the other conductor (GND). That was to reduce the resistance, hence voltage drop over the +5V supply.
@@kevinjones9586 ah, ok. Thanks
@@Flieger46 I don't recall which pair I used for the data. In theory it could make a difference as all of the pairs are not twisted together with the same rate. That's just in theory though, I doubt it makes a difference in practice.
@@kevinjones9586 ok, well i´ll check that. trying to increase the cable length of an endoscope inspection camera and apparently the maximum reliable usb cable length is quite limited.
thanks
My pc's LAN port is dead. The solution is to use LAN to USB cable which are available in the market but a little expensive. Wish to know if LAN to USB cab be made using the technique shown??
Hello, Thank you for your question. I am sorry to say that these adaptors will not be able to fulfil that purpose. The device you are looking for has a controller chip which interprets network packets. To build one yourself could be possible, but you'd need to research the circuit that is needed.
Thanks for you quick response. Got your point.....
Can this be done with USB-C ?
This can't be plugged into a network right? I am assuming that it would not work that way since this appears to be only extending a USB cable. If this is not usable on a network connection, it may be a good idea to mark the cable ends or even use a different color cable for that. I will look and see if I can find 4 wire twisted pair cable. I don't know how much the stuff costs but I am sure it exists. I will do a search and see what I find. It would most likely be a specialty cable.
I knew it exists, it is Cat 3 cable. It does come in twisted pair too. Most people probably have the flat non twisted pair cable in their walls depending on how old their house is. We have twisted pair cat 3 in our walls but no longer use a landline. The way I see it why should I pay that extra $30 per month just so telemarketers can use it to pester me. I started to use a service known as anonymous call rejection which helped stop a lot of telemarketers. The way it works is if they block their number, they get a message requesting them to allow their number to show on caller ID. If they don't the call will not complete and the phone will not ring on my end (or it would not have if I still had a landline).
You are right it can't be plugged into a network.
Support 20 meter?
I have a 23 meter cable ethernet cable and I did the same procedure and the computer got an error that the usb is not recognized
You should consider doing asmr
Ur voice is so relaxing
so could this work to plug into annotg cable then into my phone from the router?
Yes as long as your phone supports it
Most phones now days do
Its working?
Hello, i'm Daniel from Perú, let me ask you a question, i have a multifuncional printer with usb connectio (EPSON CX5600) and i want to connect it to the router or módem but these ones only has an ethernet connection (RJ45). Can you explained to me how can i do the adapter
The RJ45 connector is 8 lines
Would this work for a Ethernet usb adapter for Nintendo Switch
meka wada karanne na kiyanawa methana hitagena inna ekkenk thanks
bro can i use my mobile data (usb tethering) by using network cable
No, not with this this method.
Dear friend; Why don't cut the two cable Ethernet plugs and solder the cable directly to the usb cables avoiding the use of all these adapters ?
reusability i think, at the end of the day you have one useful ethernet cable
can I plug in the male Ethernet and female usb to the Ethernet port and plug in my USB devices to the end of the female usb?
I need to know because my USB ports are dead and am thinking of doing this but don't know if it would work.
No, I'm afraid not, your Ethernet port is only suitable for networking use. It will not work with USB peripherals such a Mice, Keyboards, etc
Ryan Tech Reviews dammit, I heard something about POe(power over ethernet) and thought it would work, thank you anyways.
I am having the same issue. Did you find any alternative? My laptop USB are broken and dead and hence I want to find an alternative to give USB input.
Can I use it to connect Internet to my smartphone via otg?
Hazim, Assuming you mean to connect to internet via Ethernet, then no this will not work. This video simply makes use of the twisted pairs present in ethernet cable to extend the reach of USB connected devices.
Thanks for the reply 👍
what is the maximum range?
technically a lot but if you want to connect high powered devices it depends on how much power they need, if you want to use it for low powered devices like mice or keyboards you can go up to 15 feet and probably be fine
Thank you very much my dear brother
You can give me a photo planner to deliver the USB to the internet port to apply it because it is not clear to me
I have a question from my brother
After converting it to USB, you get a mouse or RAM, or does it work?
You have saved my 300 rupees
Thanks 👍🏻
I tried the setup as shown in the video but there is no connection. please help.
try it on a phone to see if it charges. Mine does, but nothing that requires current does. I tested it and it was just under 5 volts, but I dont think there is enough juice to talk to the device.
Hello, is there any possibilities to connect to a PC through the LAN port with these adaptors? For example, to use a keyboard to enter a PC, because USB ports are burned. Thank you!
Running USB through the LAN port won't work, as the computer interprets that differently. You'd either have to replace your USB ports, or install a USB PCI card.
can I use a micro usb to Ethernet so that I can have internet on my pc through my android device?
Hello, Yes you can connect a micro USB connection in place of one of the USB type A connections. The connection must then be converted back into a USB connection in order for it to work on your PC. (Do not plug the ethernet connection directly into your PC). You can then set up tethering on your Android for internet access on your PC.
thank you for replying. what had I been planning to do is buy a micro usb to Ethernet adapter then connect my micro usb to my phone and from the adapter an Ethernet cable to my pc.. So this as you said wont work. Which is the best way to connect my phone to my pc so that I can access my mobile data?
You mention you have an Android phone. These have an in built tethering feature that will allow for your share the phones data/ wifi connection over USB (and I think bluetooth also). If you have a micro USB to USB A cable (quite often these come as a data/ charging cable with the phone) simply connect your phone to your PC as you would to transfer files/ slow charge your device. Then in the settings menu on your phone go to "More" -> "Tethering & postable hotspot" -> and toggle on the top option and the USB tether option. You PC should pick up the device and install the necessary drivers to use the phones internet connection.
Let me know how you get on.
it has like 4000+ ping what can I do for that?
Are you able to find the ping from your device for comparison? Android Terminal Emulator from the app store might help.
Alguien que hable español? Y me confirme si es una buena idea para hacerlo en una laptop que no cuenta con una entrada de Ethernet
Este cable no ES diseñado para eso, lo que necesitas es um adaptador usb ethernet
I created this, connected usb to pc and ethernet to switch but i get "Unrecognised USB device" any solution?
Same problem
@@educational-topic hope we find a solution to this

how to make usb male to ethernet lan male ??? Is it useful for connecting the desktop to the internet ? please replay of my question .
The adapters shown here are USB male to Ethernet male.
These are only used to extend the distance that USB operates over by using the twisted pairs that are present in Ethernet cables.
What you are after is a converter which can process network packets and send them as voltages through USB. While it is possible to create such a device, it would be far easier to purchase an adapter (I hear the one from Pluggable one is good).
To make this your own you'd need some good soldering skills and access to parts such as a programmable chip (in order to understand the network packets) and two crystals (to keep the signals in sync). If this is within your ability you can start by searching for a suitable schematic.
gracias, no hablo ni entiendo el ingles. pero estoy agradecido por tu video, muy intuitivo!
Can i connect my wired printer to WiFi router using this ?
Hello Navneet, Sorry but these adapters do not have the correct protocols for converting USB to ethernet. For this you would require additional circuitry to translate the USB data into network packets. These simply allow for you to connect USB to USB over a longer range by making use of the twisted pairs present in an ethernet cable.
Ryan Tech Reviews thanks
can I use this to connect my Nintendo switch to my internet as I do not want to pay for a USB to Ethernet adapter
No, this is not what you require.
Why can’t you use iPhone charging cables on this set up?
You can
But this not work.
Haha he said it doesn't matter
hey there u spell the adapter wrong in ur title lol
They are indeed spelled differently. I did research to see which was correct and from what I found, either was correct. I prefer to spell with adapter (like you I see). However, TH-cam seems to give more views for adaptor.
my router burned out ...
It dose not work
0:46 no man i can't see shit😐😐
Hearing you smack your tongue every time you opened your mouth was driving me insane dude. So annoying. But thank you for the video it helped a lot
you have no clue what you are showing :D
this is for using ethernet cable as an extension, zero electronics inside, doesnt make LAN connection
Yes that is correct. The ethernet cable is being used to extend the length for USB connected devices. There is no network activity involved.
Will it work if i plug a USB Webcam?
Thank you for your question. Yes it will work for a USB webcam, but you'll be restricted by the USB cable that comes attached to the webcam. I am currently working on replacing the cable in a Logitech C310 with an ethernet cable to see how far the signal can travel. I plan to produce a video on this with a comparison on quality image between USB and ethernet cabled webcams.
I have tried A4Tech PK- series webcam, I tested i through a 10meter utp, it seems to work but when I try it on a 35meter utp wire, it is detected by Device manager but no display were shown on the screen
Thank you for the update on your findings. Increasing the length to 10 metres is quite the result. I believe the voltage is the limiting factor as it degrades down the wire, hence why it does not work with 35 metres. Was the signal carried completely by the utp or was the manufacturer USB connected to it?
Hello again, I thought you might be interested to know that I have released a video on my method of replacing the USB cable with UTP cable for a Logitech C270. Please see my channel for the link. Let me know if this was the same method you used for your webcam.
