How to use

Connect the transmitter unit to the host computer using a USB-A male cable. Connect the transmitter and receiver using a single Cat5e/6/7 network cable, observing the required maximum distance of 100 metres. Plug the external power supply into the receiver to power attached USB devices. Connect up to four USB peripherals to the receiver’s downstream USB ports. Install any necessary device drivers on the host computer when prompted.

Recommendations

For reliable high-speed performance use quality shielded Cat6A or Cat6 cable and avoid running the cable near strong electromagnetic interference sources. Ensure the receiver’s power supply is connected when using power-hungry devices such as external hard drives, cameras or printers. Purchase a USB-B to USB-A cable separately if required for the host connection.
