This type of installation is particularly useful if you want
to connect a pair of low-speed devices to a computer,
because it will allow you to run your cables across a full
1000 ft. (304.8 m)—which would not be the case if you
connected both devices through a hub. See
Section 4.2
and
Appendix D
.
Attach one peripheral device to each of the channel
ports on the rear of the USB X-Tender’s Device-
Interface Module, as shown in Figure 4-2. (If a device
has a nondetachable USB cable, plug the device directly
into the X-Tender. If a device has a USB port only, run a
standard USB cable—
not
one of the ones included with
the X-Tender!—between the device and the X-Tender.)
Use both of the X-Tender’s included USB cables to
attach two of the host computer’s USB ports to the
channel ports on the rear of the X-Tender’s Host-
Interface Module.
