CAT5e/6/7 premise outlets located near both the computer and the USB device(s), and the total length,
including patch cords is not more than 330ft (100m).
Mounting the Local Extender or Remote Extender
If mounting is required, the local and
remote extenders have two mounting
slots on each side for use with tie/zip
wraps (not included).
