System Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Rose Electronics CrystalLink USB-3-2-1 CATx extender.

The CrystalLink USB-3-2-1 CATx extender provides simultaneous transparent USB extension for all USB3.1,

2.0 and 1.1 devices up to 330 feet (100 meters) over a single CAT6a/7 UTP cable.

Up to four USB devices such as a USB3.1 conferencing camera, flash drives, hard drives, keyboards, mice,

interactive white boards, touchscreens, docking stations, USB to video converters, audio devices, and/or any

other USB3.1, 2.0 and 1.0 device can be extended away from the host PC using the CrystalLink USB-3-2-1

CATx extender. Additional USB devices can be connected using a powered USB hub.

The CrystalLink USB-3-2-1 CATx extension system consists of two units, a transmitter and a receiver. The

transmitter connects to your computers’ USB port. The transmitter is linked directly to the receiver using

industry standard CAT6a/7 cable and the USB devices connect to the receiver.

To support the USB3.1 SuperSpeed of up to 5Gbps, the CrystalLink USB-3-2-1 CATx extender must be

connected directly to the USB3.1 port of a host device.

The instructions in this manual assume a general knowledge of computer installation procedures, familiarity

with cabling requirements, and some understanding of USB device operation.

INSTALLATION

CrystalLink USB-3-2-1 CATx Extender Manual 6

Installation Procedure

Before beginning an installation, ensure you have all products and components ready for the installation

Cabling Requirements

The CrystalLink USB-3-2-1 CATx extender requires a minimum grade of Category 6a cabling to be used in

order to reach 330ft (100m) of extension distance. For full distance extension, patch cable can be used up to

35ft (10m) only. The remaining 295ft (90m) must be solid core premise cabling.

When planning your installation, first determine the path of the link cable and whether to use Unshielded,

Shielded or Foiled cable where appropriate.

When installing this product, it is appropriate to use Unshielded (UTP) cabling if the cable installation meets the

following requirements:



The cable is not bundled with other cables



The cable is run loosely with other Category cables



The cable is not placed close to sources of interference such as power lines and radios



The cable is not looped or coiled

For optimum performance, Shielded (STP) or Foiled (FTP) cabling should be used if the cable installation

encounters any of the following conditions:



The cable is bundled with other cables



The cable is run tight against other Category cables



The cable is placed near sources of interference like power lines and radios



The cable is looped or coiled
