About the USBthere
The USBthere breaks the five-meter distance barrier for the connection of
USB peripheral devices and allows users to enjoy the benefits of USB
technology beyond the desktop. With the USBthere, USB devices can be
located up to 50 meters from the host computer. In addition, the USBthere
can supply power to remote low-power and some high-power USB devices.
The product is composed of two individual units, the Local Unit and the
Remote Unit.
The Local Unit
The Local Unit connects to the host computer using a conventional
USB cable.

Network Cabling
The Local Unit and the Remote Unit are interconnected by up to 50
meters of Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling. The
UTP cabling must have a straight-through conductor configuration,
with no crossovers, and must be terminated with 8-conductor RJ45
connectors at both ends.

USB Cables
USB cables have two distinct connectors. The Type A connector is used to
connect the cable from a USB device to the Type A port on a computer or
hub. The Type B connector is used to attach the USB cable to a USB device.

Power Handling
Some USB devices are powered directly from the USB and do not require
individual power supplies. These devices are called bus-powered devices.
The USBthere can provide power to these devices so they can be operated
remotely.
Bus-powered devices are further divided into low-power and high-power
categories. Low-power devices are allowed to draw up to 100 mA from the
USB. Typical examples include mice, joysticks, and keyboards without
hubs. High-power devices are allowed to draw up to 500 mA from the USB.
Typical examples include cameras and keyboards with hubs. To determine if
a device is high-power or low-power, consult the user documentation for the
device.
The USBthere can supply sufficient power to support all low-power devices
and most high-power devices. Devices that place a very heavy power drain
on USB (>300 mA) are not supported. Most USB devices operate well
within this power budget.
NOTE: Devices with their own power source are usually considered to be
low-power devices from a USB perspective and are thereby
compatible with the USBthere.
Compatibility
The USBthere complies with USB 1.1 specifications governing the design of
full-speed and low-speed USB devices. However, StarTech.com does not guarantee that all USB 1.1 devices are compatible with
the USBthere.

Before You Begin
Before you can install the USBthere, you need to prepare your site.
1. Determine where the host computer is to be located and set up the
computer.
2. Determine where you want to locate the USB device.
3. If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough Category 5
UTP cabling to connect the two locations.
OR
If you are using premise cabling, ensure Category 5 UTP cabling is
installed between the two locations, with Category 5 information
outlets located near both the computer and the USB device.
Installing the Local Unit
1. Place the Local Unit near the host computer.
2. Plug the Type B connector on the USB cable (included) into the Host
port on the Local Unit.
3. Plug the Type A connector on the USB cable into the USB port on
the computer.
Installing the Remote Unit
1. Place the Remote Unit near the USB device.
Connecting the Local Unit to the Remote Unit
NOTE:To ensure proper operation, we recommend that only Category 5, or
better, Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling be used to connect
the Local Unit to the Remote Unit. The UTP cabling must have a
straight-through conductor configuration with no crossovers, and
must be terminated with 8-conductor RJ45 connectors at both ends.
With Surface Cabling
1. Plug one end of the Category 5 UTP cabling (not included) into the
Link port on the Local Unit.
2. Plug the other end of the Category 5 UTP cabling into the Link port
on the Remote Unit.

With Premise Cabling
1. Plug one end of a Category 5 patch cord (not included) into the
Link port on the Local Unit.
2. Plug the other end of the patch cord into the Category 5 information
outlet near the host computer.
3. Plug one end of the second Category 5 patch cord (not included)
into the Link port on the Remote Unit.
4. Plug the other end of the second patch cord into the Category 5
information outlet near the USB device.
NOTE: The maximum length of the Category 5 UTP cable, including patch
cords, must not exceed 50 meters.
Checking the Installation
1. Check that the Link LEDs on both the Local Unit and the Remote
Unit are on.
Connecting a USB Device
1. Install any software required to operate the USB device. Refer to
the documentation for this device, as required.
