LogiLink NK0017 keystone-module USB 2.0 Type-A bus naar Type-B bus, wit

Data technicians and office IT staff often need a clean, permanent way to route USB connections through walls, desks, or patch panels. The LogiLink NK0017 keystone module solves this by providing a female USB 2.0 Type-A port on one side and a female USB 2.0 Type-B port on the other, all in a standard keystone form factor. Snap it into any keystone wall plate, surface mount box, or patch panel, and you instantly create a professional USB pass-through point. The white ABS housing blends into most environments, while the nickel-plated contacts ensure reliable signal integrity for data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps.

Why choose it

This module eliminates the need for messy cable runs and provides a fixed, reliable connection point. Its female-to-female design acts as a coupler, so you can connect a standard USB cable on each side without any soldering or special tools. The keystone format means it integrates seamlessly with existing structured cabling systems, and the plug-and-play nature requires no drivers or configuration. The robust ABS housing withstands daily use, and the nickel-plated contacts resist corrosion for long-term performance.

Ideal use cases

• Wall-mounted USB extension in conference rooms for connecting peripherals like printers or scanners.
• Desk grommet installations for easy access to USB devices without crawling under the desk.
• Patch panel integration in server rooms for USB console connections to network equipment.
• Custom AV installations where USB signals need to pass through walls or floors.

Good to know

The module is compatible with all standard keystone panels, wall plates, and surface mount boxes. It supports USB 2.0 speeds and is backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices. Installation is tool-free: simply snap the module into the keystone opening. The white color matches most standard faceplates, but it can also be used with colored plates for contrast. Note that this is a passive coupler; it does not amplify or extend the USB signal beyond the standard 5-meter limit.
