Frequently Asked Questions - USB2FX-S Smart-AVI

What is the maximum distance the USB2FX-S can extend USB signals?

The maximum distance depends on fiber type: up to 10 km (6.2 miles) with single-mode fiber, or up to 500 m (1640 feet) with multi-mode fiber.

How do I install the USB2FX-S extender?

Power off all devices. Connect your computer (USB host) to the transmitter (USB2FX-TX) using a USB cable into the USB-B port. Insert an SFP transceiver into the SFP port on both TX and RX. Connect fiber optic cable between the SFP modules. Connect power supplies to both units. Then connect USB peripherals to the receiver (USB2FX-RX) USB-A ports. Power on all devices.

Can I use any SFP transceiver with the USB2FX-S?

The USB2FX-S requires standard SFP transceivers that are compatible with fiber optic cables (LC-LC duplex). It supports both single-mode and multi-mode SFPs, but they must be of appropriate wavelength and distance rating for your fiber.

Can I hot-swap the SFP modules without powering down?

Yes, the USB2FX-S supports hot-swapping of SFP modules. You can disconnect and replace them without turning off power to the units. Operation will resume automatically.

What should I do if the connected keyboard or mouse is not working?

First, check that the keyboard/mouse is securely connected to the USB ports on the receiver. Ensure the USB cable from the computer to the transmitter is properly connected. Try a different USB port on your computer. Test the keyboard/mouse directly connected to the computer to verify they work. If still not working, replace the keyboard/mouse.

How many USB devices can I connect to the receiver?

The USB2FX-RX has 4 USB Type-A ports, allowing you to connect up to 4 USB peripherals (keyboard, mouse, printer, flash drive, etc.).

What power supply does the USB2FX-S require?

Each unit (TX and RX) requires the included 5VDC 3A power adapter (input 100-240 VAC). Two power supplies are provided in the box.

Is the USB2FX-S compatible with USB 1.1 or USB 3.0?

The USB2FX-S is designed for USB 2.0 signals. It may work with USB 1.1 devices but will be limited to USB 2.0 speeds. It is not compatible with USB 3.0/3.1/3.2.

What is the warranty period and how do I get support?

SmartAVI offers a 1-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. For technical support or warranty claims, contact [e-mail] or call [phone].

Can I extend both video and USB over the same fiber?

No, the USB2FX-S is a USB-only extender. It does not transmit video signals. For video extension, SmartAVI offers separate products.
