Local Extender
Computer
All USB 2.0 and 1.1 Devices
Up to 500m between extenders over multimode fiber optics
Remote Extender
The host and client extenders are interconnected by up to 500 meters of ber opc cabling. Two strands of
50/125μm (500m) MMF or 62.5/125μm (275m) MMF cabling are required. The cabling subsystem must provide
a duplex connecon with crossover, and must be terminated with Duplex LC connectors at both ends.
1. Place the host extender near the computer.
2. Install the supplied USB cable between the host extender and USB port on the host computer.
1. Place the client extender near the USB device(s).
2. Plug the power adapter into a suitable AC outlet.
3. Connect the power adapter to the client extender.
Before you can install the TL-FO-USB2-01, you need to prepare your site:
1. Determine where the computer is to be located and set up the computer.
2. Determine where you want to locate the USB device(s).
3. If you are using surface cabling, the TL-FO-USB2-01 supports a maximum distance of 500m.
OR
If you are using premise cabling, ensure compable ber opc cabling is installed between the two locaons,
with ber opc informaon outlets located near both the computer and the USB device(s), and the total length
including patch cords is no more than 500m over MMF.

Connecng the Host Extender to the Client Extender
Checking the Installaon
Connecng a USB Device
With Surface Cabling
With Premise Cabling
1. Plug one end of the ber opc cabling (not included) into the Link port on the host extender.
2. Plug the other end of the ber opc cabling into the Link port on the client extender.
1. Plug one end of a ber opc patch cord (not included) into the Link port on the host extender.
2. Plug the other end of the patch cord into the ber opc informaon outlet near the host computer.
3. Plug one end of the second ber opc patch cord (not included) into the Link port on the client extender.
4. Plug the other end of the second patch cord into the ber opc informaon outlet near the USB device.
1. On the host and client extenders, check that the Power, Host, and Link LEDs are on and that the Acvity LED
is blinking. If the Link LED is permanently o, then the cabling between the host and client extedners is not
installed properly or is defecve.
2. For Windows users (2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8), open Device Manager to conrm that the TL-
FO-USB2-01 has installed correctly. Expand the entry for Universal Serial Bus controllers by clicking the “+”
sign. If the TL-FO-USB2-01 has been installed correctly, you should nd it listed as a “Generic USB Hub”.
3. For Mac OS X users, open the System Proler to conrm that the TL-FO-USB2-01 has installed correctly. In
the le hand column under Hardware, select “USB” and inspect the right hand panel. If the TL-FO-USB2-01
has been installed correctly, you should nd it listed as a “Hub” under the USB High-Speed Bus/USB Bus.
4. If the TL-FO-USB2-01 is not detected correctly or fails to detect, please consult the Troubleshoong secon
in this User Guide.
1. Install any soware required to operate the USB device(s). Refer to the documentaon for the USB device(s),
as required.
2. Connect the USB device to the device port on the remote extender.
3. Check that the device is detected and installed properly in the operang system.
To ensure proper operaon, the maximum length of the ber opc cable, including patch cords, must not exceed
500 meters. The cabling must provide a duplex connecon with crossover and must be terminated with Duplex
LC connectors at both ends.

are a number of dierent conguraons that may impact the operaon of USB devices over extended distances.
To open System Proler in Mac OS X:
Open the Finder, select Applicaons, then open the Ulies folder and double click on the System Proler icon.
To open Device Manager in Windows 2000 or Windows XP:
Right click “My Computer” then select: Properes >> Hardware tab >> Device Manager
To open Device Manager in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
Open the Start menu, right click on “Computer” then select: Manage >> Device Manager

USB Extender Mounng
The boom of the TL-FO-USB2-01 enclosures features four pre-drilled holes for oponal surface mounng.
To ensure the stencil below prints to scale be sure to set the page scaling seng to “none”.
Distance between the enclosure mounng holes: 42.0 mm x 77.0 mm
1. Mark the center point of each of the four holes on your mounng surface either by directly measuring or using
a print out of the stencil below.
2. Hardware recommendaon: M3.0 locking washers and M3.0 screws (4 of each per extender) nong screw
length will depend upon thickness of mounng surface.
3. Drill through each of the four hole markings on the mounng surface using a 4.7625mm (3/16”) drill bit.
4. Align the boom enclosure holes to the newly drilled out holes on the mounng surface.
5. Place a locking washer on each of the four screws and using a screwdriver, fasten the extender into place.
