Important Note:
Avoid using USB connectors found on certain
peripherals such as keyboards. These are passive (or pass-through)
connectors that lead to power loss and unstable operation.
Important Note:
Only use USB cables shorter than 5 meters
(approximately 15 feet). Using longer cables cause the peripherals to
malfunction due to excessive reduction in electrical signal strength.
