Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Cat.5 USB Extender. This product has been
designed to provide trouble-free, reliable operation. It benefits from both a
Lindy 2 year warranty and free lifetime technical support. To ensure correct
use, please read this manual carefully and retain it for future reference.
This USB Extender can be used to extend the distance between a USB device and
a host computer by up to 50m. It consists of a local unit with a USB Type-A
connector (host computer side) and a remote unit (device side) with a built-in
USB Type-A female connector. A standard Cat. 5 network cable (UTP or STP) up
to 50m lengths is used to connect the two units (not included!) For certain
USB Low Speed devices like USB mice, it may be possible to extend the distance
even further to 100m. This will depend very much on the device connected, as
this extended distance may not be guaranteed. In most cases, USB 1.1 Full
Speed data transfer (12Mbps) will not work over extended distances but is
guaranteed to work up to 50m.
Specification
USB Interface: USB 1.1
Interconnect UTP/STP cable length up to 50m

Please note:
- The maximum number of hubs in any USB connection from the host to the device cannot be more than 5 including any USB hubs or Active Extension cables or the equivalent hub rating of this USB Extender. Therefore, when using a 50m UTP/STP cable no extra hubs or extension cables can be used between computer and device.
- When using a high current USB device such as a modem, camera, etc. with the USB Extender you must connect the power supply supplied with the device.
- The USB Extender does not support the USB 50µA maximum Suspend Mode current limit.

In 2006 the European Union introduced regulations (WEEE) for the collection
and recycling of all waste electrical and electronic equipment. It is no
longer allowable to simply throw away electrical and electronic equipment.
Instead, these products must enter the recycling process.
Each individual EU member state, as well as the UK, has implemented the WEEE
regulations into national law in slightly different ways. Please follow your
national law when you want to dispose of any electrical or electronic
products. More details can be obtained from your national WEEE recycling
agency.
