5.3.6 Using the USB Modem Extension Y Cable

•The UM100C Modem package includes an extension USB Y-shaped cable. Although the Y cable is not required for use with your UM100C Modem,

it offers increased performance for your UM100C Modem under certain operating conditions. Connect the Y cable to two separate USB ports of your computer to deliver sufficient power when needed to increase RF performance, and to solve clearance issues.

Using the USB Modem Extension Y Cable:

1)Plug the single end of the Y-shaped cable into the UM100C Modem. [A]

2)Depending on the condition you are trying to solve (increased RF performance, or clearance issues), plug either one of the two connected ends of the USB modem extension Y cable into the Type A USB port(s) on your computer. [B]

Note: The USB modem extension Y cable connector labeled #1, is the primary data power cable used to either extend the UM100C modem away from your computer allowing you to locate the modem in a more optimum signal location or solve any computer USB port clearance issues. The USB modem extension Y cable connector labeled #2, is a power boost Y cable and must be used with connector #1 to provide the modem up to 1Amp of current for use in weaker signal areas. Must be connected to two separate USB ports.
