• 

Architectural Adapter Plate (AAP) model

 — The USB Extender Plus AAP transmitter 

and receiver fit into a double-space AAP opening and is wall mountable. It can be 
mounted to a one-gang junction box if desired.

• 

Decorator-Style model

 — The USB Extender Plus D is a decorator-style wall plate 

that fits into a one-gang junction box. 

NOTE:

  The transmitter and receiver pair work with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) 

or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables. However, to ensure FCC Class A and CE 
compliance, STP cables are required.

Features

• 

Point-to-point long distance transmission

 — Extends USB peripherals up to 

330 feet (100 meters) on one CAT 5/5e/6/7 cable for point-to-point applications.

• 

1:N pairing over the network

 — One transmitter can be connected to up to four 

receivers.

• 

Extended transmission distance through network connection

 — Up to five 

gigabit network switches can be connected between the transmitter and receiver to 
increase the signal distance to up to 1980 feet (600 meters).

• 

Supports USB 3.0, 2.0, 1.1, and 1.0 devices

 — Supports bulk, control, interrupt, and 

isochronous transfers as defined by the USB specification.

• 

Provides data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps

 — Allows high speed transfer from 

thumb drives and other mass storage devices.

• 

Integrated four-port hub

 — The receiver has a four-port integrated USB hub, which 

provides 5 volts, 500 mA on each port. Allows simultaneous connection to multiple 
peripheral devices such as the Extron Annotator 300, mass storage devices, keyboards, 
mice, or other human interface devices (HID).

• 

Peripheral emulation

 — Offers increased system reliability by emulating a continuous 

connection between the host and an HID-compliant keyboard and mouse. 

• 

Real-time status LED indicators for troubleshooting and monitoring

 — Front and 

rear panel LED indicators provide visual confirmation of port activity between an active 
host and each connected peripheral device.

• 

Rack and furniture mountable

 — Low-profile, 1-inch (2.5 cm) high, quarter rack wide 

metal enclosures enable the extenders to be installed discreetly, such as beneath a 
table or inside a lectern.

• 

Included power supplies

 — An energy-efficient, external, universal power supply, 

part number 70-775-01 (28-071-57LF), is provided with each unit. The power supply 
provides worldwide power compatibility with high demonstrated reliability and low 
power consumption. 

• 

Remote configuration and control

 — The transmitter and receiver can be configured 

via Extron SIS (Simple Instruction Set) commands issued from the computer to the front 
panel 2.5 mm TRS Config port of the extenders. 

• 

Choice of rack-mountable and architectural form factors

 — Available in a rack 

mountable metal enclosure, a dual AAP frame version, and a one-gang decorator-style 
wall plate for easy integration into a variety of environments.

• 

Extends human interface devices

 — The USB Extender Plus HID-only models 

extend the usable distance of smart card readers and USB human interface peripheral 
devices that do not require special USB device drivers, including a standard keyboard, 
mouse, hub, and other devices.
