Installing the extender

The USB2001EXT2P features both a local and a remote extender unit. The local extender connects to your host computer system, while the remote extender connects to your remote USB device. Both devices are then connected together using standard Cat5e cable. The provided power adapter must be connected to either the local or remote unit for the extender to properly function.

Install the extender

1. Connect the USB 2.0 cable (included) to the local unit's host port and to the host computer's USB-A port.
2. Connect a Cat5e Ethernet cable to the local unit's RJ45 port and to the remote unit's RJ45 port.
3. Connect your USB peripheral device to the remote unit's USB-A port.
4. Select the appropriate power cord for your region and connect it to the power adapter.
5. Connect the power adapter to an AC electrical outlet and then plug it into the DC (power input) port on either the local or remote unit.

Installation notes

• Do not route the Ethernet cable through any networking equipment (for example, a router, or a switch).
• Make sure that your Ethernet cable is long enough to connect the local unit to the remote unit (maximum extension distance is 100 m or 330ft.).
