    Standard HDBaseT extenders transmit HDMI video, audio, Ethernet (100Mbps), RS-232, and IR control signals — but not native USB data. For USB touch control, you would need a separate solution.

    VISSONIC's HDBaseT products:

    VIS-HD70T/R HDBaseT Extender (70m) — carries HDMI 4K60 + bidirectional IR + RS-232 + Ethernet over a single CAT6 cable

    VIS-HD100T/R HDBaseT Extender (100m) — same signal set, extended to 100m (4K30) or 70m (4K60)

    HDMI/VGA to HDBaseT Wallplate — convenient table/wall input with HDBaseT output

    For USB touch control over distance, you have several options:

    USB over CAT extender — a separate device that extends USB 2.0 up to 50-100m over CAT cable. Run this alongside the HDBaseT cable.

    USB over IP / network USB extender — uses the Ethernet channel that HDBaseT already provides. Some HDBaseT chipsets include a USB 2.0 channel in addition to the standard signals — check with VISSONIC support whether the specific extender model supports this.

    Network-based touch panel — use the VIS-TP13 Wireless Touch Panel which communicates over standard WiFi/Ethernet rather than USB, eliminating the distance problem entirely.

    Practical recommendation: if you need both video and touch control at distance, run a CAT6 for HDBaseT (video) and a second CAT6 for USB extension. Or use a network-based control solution like the VIS-TP13 touch panel.
