    4 USB devices, to 4-to-1 USB hub, to USB to CAT5 Adpt, to CAT5 to USB


    Hello all.

    Sorry that this is some what more of a hardware question, but I have 4 USB devices in a utility room that have the ability to be tied into a PC to monitor their actives and logs, but as I don’t want to keep a dedicated PC in that room just for that I was looking for a way to get them to my Win 10 64 Pro desktop.

    So while I am not asking for guaranties here, I was thinking of trying a 4 to 1 USB hub, to a female to RJ45 CAT5 adapter, run a CAT 5 cable to the PC, then use a CAT5 to mail USB adapter, and then plug that into the PC.

    So again, am not looking for guaranties here, but in theory should that work and also show up as 4 individual devices on my Win10 PC?

    For the particular parts here are links to them:

    Over all I think if I was looking to just get 1 able to be seen by the PC I wouldn’t bother asking, but as I need 4 to show up over the single line and plug, I thought I would check on that here and see what people might think.

    Thanks

    :)

    usb device not recognized

    too many devices on the same usb hub, 1 usb hub can only give around 150mA to 1 device, but that device can negotiate to get 550mA, but in that case its sucking all the power that the specific USB hub can provide, usualy wifi and bluetooth will suck up 550mA, diabling the hub for more devices

    4 USB devices, to 4-to-1 USB hub, to USB to CAT5 Adpt, to CAT5 to USB

    usb-hub -> lag ?

    I didnt meant the computer psu, but the one powering the usb-hub (from a wall outlet),
    as each usb device requires a minimum of power (forgot how much).
    Anyway many 4-10 port hubs dont deliver the required power.

    So are there any reliable usb-hubs out there ?
