USB Extenders • Setup Guide

This guide provides basic instructions for an experienced technician to install and operate the Extron USB Extenders.

The USB Extender Series includes the USB Extender Tx/Rx, AAP Tx/Rx, and Decora® Tx/Rx. They are USB transmitter and receiver pairs that extend the usable distance of USB 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 standards with data transfer rates up to 480 Mbp and data transmission up to 450 ft (135 m) with standard Category 5/5e/6/6e/7 cable.

The rack mountable Tx/Rx, AAP mountable Tx/Rx, and Decora Tx/Rx models can be mixed.

Mount the USB Extenders

The USB Extender series includes transmitters and receivers in three form factors to provide a variety of mounting options including:

zz USB Extender Tx/Rx in quarter rack width, 3 inch deep, 1 inch high metal enclosures zz USB Extender AAP Tx/Rx for double-space Architectural Adapter Plate openings

zz USB Extender D (Decora) Tx/Rx for one-gang wall box or mud ring mounting

Choose the appropriate mounting location and install the USB Extender transmitter and receiver following instructions supplied with the mounting kit. If the rear panel connectors will be covered after mounting, make all connections prior to permanently mounting a USB Extender.
