this is useless BS to sell stuff. if you just want power for the USB and not data you could just use a simple power cable 110 or 220v. especially if you use this connecting box. if you don't want data Internet cable is completely unnecessary. with a one and a half mil Don't know the AwG, that will be pretty low voltage drop. I'm in the box you can easily connect with wago order American equivalent.

Very informative video. Question I have is, would you recommend using CAT5 Ethernet cable (your method in this video) or USB extension with chipset signal booster for Yi outdoor security camera? I need about 25 fr to reach an outlet. Thanks
@FrakkingCreations
2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for commenting. I can't say for sure as I don't have the Yi outdoor camera or the signal booster. As I was showing in the video, you will have to test it out to be sure. It would also depend on the particular brand/model USB extender or Signal booster you get since hardware inside could affect how well it works. One note is that I don't think there is any signal you need to boost. It's only the power that the device can deliver that is of concern. The method I show in the video could be enough. If your camera needs more power to run then a booster that can supply more amperage may be best. Hope that helps.

No. This is not for that. These have USB connectors and will not plug into the ethernet port of a router. There are specific devices that push power onto Ethernet cables that you might want to look into. It is called PoE or Power over Ethernet. Specific PoE devices will push power onto Ethernet cables and PoE compatible devices can be powered through them.

Because this is DC power, the longer you extend the wires, the more the power loss. Since this is a DIY hack it may not work for all cases. An extra long USB cable may work better but it also suffers from this issue. Also, I haven't seen too many extra long USB cables in existence. It depends what length you need, though. Have you tried to see if the adapter I showed works for you?

@@FrakkingCreations ,first of all thanks very much for your idea and for me there is a cost concern , yes I too figured out that we can't trust usb extension as device may not get desired power all the time. So I did research on some things , your idea is also good , but it will be costly to buy 4 adapters and I need network cables also , but if we have 4 or 5 cameras , then I guess we need to purchase separate adapter and cost is a concern . So I planned to go with power wire extension by tapping all the device plugs and final wire will go to my room and wire will run through my roof ,i haven't executed , but this is my plan.

I can't say for sure as I don't have these webcams. Typically, webcams connected to computers still need data as part of the connection. Since these type of adapters are only compatible up to USB V1.1, I believe, they won't work with most webcams. Webcams typically need v2 and up for USB specifications.

Did someone try using the same adapters with USB-C cables where it didn't work? I can't imagine why it wouldn't work but then again, I don't have the Eufy L20.

There may be some power loss from the adapter.
