The host and client extenders are interconnected by up to 500 meters of fiber optic cabling. Two strands of
50/125μm (500m) MMF or 62.5/125μm (275m) MMF cabling are required. The cabling subsystem must provide
a duplex connection with crossover, and must be terminated with Duplex LC connectors at both ends.
1. Place the host extender near the computer.
2. Install the supplied USB cable between the host extender and USB port on the host computer.
1. Place the client extender near the USB device(s).
2. Plug the power adapter into a suitable AC outlet.
3. Connect the power adapter to the client extender.
Before you can install the TL-FO-USB2-01, you need to prepare your site:
1. Determine where the computer is to be located and set up the computer.
2. Determine where you want to locate the USB device(s).
3. If you are using surface cabling, the TL-FO-USB2-01 supports a maximum distance of 500m.
OR
If you are using premise cabling, ensure compatible fiber optic cabling is installed between the two locations,
with fiber optic information outlets located near both the computer and the USB device(s), and the total length
including patch cords is no more than 500m over MMF.
