INSTALLATION

CrystalLink USB2.0 CATx Extender Manual 6

Installation Procedure

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

Figure 4. CrystalLink USB2.0 CATx extender – standard installation



Determine where the computer is to be located and set up the computer.



Determine where you want to locate the remote USB device(s).



Remember the product supports a maximum distance of 330ft (100m) for transparent USB devices. If

using patch (stranded) cables or premise wiring, the achievable extension distance may be less.



Avoid potential sources of interference such as electrical wiring, fluorescent lighting and radio

communications equipment.



Ensure that the CATx cable is terminated with matching connectors. For example, a CAT6 cable should

be terminated with compatible CAT6 connectors.

Installation Using Premise Wiring

If you are using premise cabling, ensure CATx cabling is installed between the two locations, with CATx

premise outlets located near both the computer and the USB device(s), and the total length, including patch

cords is not more than 330ft (100m).

Installing the Transmitter Unit



Place the transmitter unit near the computer.



Install the supplied USB cable between the transmitter and USB port on the host computer.
