Extending the USB Cable
If the provided 6' (1.8 m) USB cable attached to the receiver isn’t long enough, you can use active
USB extender cables, USB extenders or hubs.
The illustration to the right shows the SMART active USB
extension cable (Part No. USB-XT). In some cases, you may be
able to use up to four cables to extend the length to about 80'
(25 m), which is the limit of the USB specification. Passive USB
extension cables are not supported.
NOTE: Some computers use internal active hubs to provide
more USB receptacles. The computer’s operating system may
see these internal hubs as external devices, limiting the number
of USB extenders that you can use.
Alternately, USB extenders that use Cat 5 cabling can extend
the range to approximately 325' (100 m), at a much higher cost.
The more economical SMART USB extender pair (Part No.
CAT5-XT) shown on the next page can extend the USB
connection up to 120' (36.6 m) using Windows computers or 90’
(27.5 m) using Mac computers using an RJ45 Cat 5 cable.
