its  USB  control  connection.    All  other  control  surfaces  are  powered  by  their  USB  cable.    In  the 
latter  case,  connecting  the  unit  using  a  USB  cable  longer  than  the  one  originally  supplied  can 
diminish  available  power  to  the  point  where  problems  could  ensue,  including  connection 
recognition failure or operational problems.   

To avoid problems, we strongly recommend that the control surface be connected to a powered 
USB hub using a short USB cable, in turn connecting the USB hub to a USB port on the TriCaster.  
(See also Section 5.2.1.) 

Important Note: So-called USB extenders are not recommended, having proven less reliable than 
long USB cables (with powered hub, as discussed above).  This is because each added connector in 
the circuit introduces ‘reflections’ that  can degrade the signal. In this configuration, the control 
surface  may  seem  reliable  for  some  time,  but  then  fail  unexpectedly.  (If  this  should  happen, 
disconnecting and reconnecting the control surface may temporarily restore functionality).
