INTRODUCTION
About
The DXE-USB Series is a single cable USB extender capable of transmitting bi-directional USB
2.0 over a CAT 5e/6 cable. Together (DXE-USB-S1) the DXE-USB-H1 (Host PC Side) & DXEUSB-D1 (Device Accessory Side) work together to extend to USB up to 220 feet at a full 480Mbps.
To make installations easier the DXE-USB-D1 receives it power over the CAT cable from the
DXE-USB-H1 and has dual USB ports with the built in hub. Both units can be ordered individually
to work with other devices such as the DXW-2EU which also has USB extension capabilities.
Even better the DXE-USB-D1 can supply up to 1A of power allowing for use with power hungry
devices like "Smart Boards", touch screens, tablet charging, etc. Low cost, low power, simplicity,
and compatibility with other Aurora USB extender products makes the DXE-USB the solution of
choice.

Example 1 DXE-USB-H1 Connected to DXE-USB-D1
The DXE-USB-H1 (Host Unit) will be located by the computer using the Mini USB to
USB Type A Male cable that is supplied with the DXE-USB-H1. Power will be drawn
from the computer’s USB port for the H1. The 24v DC must be connected to power the
remote DXE-USB-D1. The DXE-USB-D1 will supply 5v to the USB connectors for local
charging even if the DXE-USB-H1 is not connected to a PC as long as the 24v DC is
connected. Please note many tablet devices have proprietary charging circuits and may
not fast charge.
The RJ-45 of the DXE-USB-H1 labeled CAT 6 will connect to the DXE-USB-D1 CAT 6
port using a standard pin for pin T568A or B style LAN termination. (See connector
definition section)
IMPORTANT!!! Shielded cable terminated at both ends must be used or damage
may occur. The DXE-USB will use it for power ground. Pin 6 gnd will not be
enough to handle the load.

The DXE-USB-H1 (Host Unit) will be located by the computer using the Mini USB to
USB Type A Male cable that is supplied with the DXE-USB-H1. The 24v DC is not
required to be connected when used with the DXW-2EU. Power will be drawn from the
computer. The DXW-2EU will supply 5v to the USB connectors for local charging even if
the DXE-USB-H1 is not connected as it derives its power from the HDBaseT
connection. Please note many tablet devices have proprietary charging circuits and may
not fast charge.
The RJ-45 of the DXE-USB-H1 will connect to the DXW-2EU USB 2.0 3.5mm black
connector and the RS-232 3.81mm green connector (power & ground only). The pin-out
for the RJ-45 is noted below.

The DXE-USB-D1P (Device Unit with 24v DC supply) will be located by the product
using the USB Type A connectors (ex. Keyboard, mouse, etc). The DXW-2EUH will
supply 5v to the USB connectors for local charging even if the DXE-USB-D1P is not
connected as it derives its power from the HDBaseT connection. Please note many
tablet devices have proprietary charging circuits and may not fast charge. The top USB
port of the DXW-2EUH is the Host and the bottom connector is for charging only. The
top Host port will connect to the PC USB port via supplied USB Type A to Type A cable.
The RJ-45 of the DXE-USB-D1P will connect to the DXW-2EUH USB 2.0 3.5mm black
connector and the RS-232 3.81mm green connector (power & ground only). The pin-out
for the RJ-45 is noted below. Note the RS-232 RX will be used as a detect line but the
TX will still work for RS-232.

OPERATION
The DXE-USB Series has the ability to send USB 2.0 up to 220ft at a data rate of 480Mbps. The
DXE-USB-H1 is the host extender that will sit by the computer. It is powered from the USB port
itself of the computer. The 24v DC plug is specifically to power the remote DXE-USB-D1 so no
power is needed at the other end for the D1. The D1 is a 2 port hub for the remote devices. If it is
properly communicating with the computer over the CAT6 cable the USB1 or 2 light will illuminate
accordingly and the computer will see the device(s). Please note if the peripheral you are using
on the D1 does not work directly plugged into the computer then it will not work through the
extender. It is always best to verify operation first directly with the computer on the same USB
port of the computer. Some devices do not work well on hubs with other devices. If two devices
are plugged in at the same time try removing both then plugging in one or the other to see if
operation resumes.
For best operation try to use a direct USB port not a USB port from a HUB as performance may
be degraded.

1. All transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz Solid UTP cable. The transmission distance is
defined as the distance between the video source and the display.
2. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in UTP cable, you can use shielded STP cables to
improve EMI problems, which is worsen in long transmission.

APPENDIX 1 Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution
1. Power LED is not lit on D1
a. Check 24v power supply is plugged in on H1 unit.
b. Check to see if Wall supply is plugged into wall outlet.
c. Make certain wall outlet has power.
d. Verify CAT6 cable connection
2. Power LED is not lit on D1P
e. Check 24v power supply is plugged in on D1P unit.
f. Check to see if Wall supply is plugged into wall outlet.
g. Make certain wall outlet has power.
3. Power LED is not lit on H1
a. Check H1 USB connection to computer.
b. Make certain computer is on.
4. USB not charging on D1
a. Total power between the 2 ports is 5 watts. If exceeded the fuse
protection will kick in until within specification. Try connecting one
device at a time to make certain it works before plugging in 2 devices.
b. iPad® & iPhone® require DXE-USB-H1 connected to PC in order to
charge. iPad® will maintain power but not charge.
5. USB not working
a. Make certain DXE-USB-H1 is connected to PC
b. Make certain the cabling is correct.
6. Device does not show up on PC
a. Plug device direct into same port as H1 to verify PC can detect device
without the extender.
b. If 2 devices unplug both than try one at a time. Some devices do not
work well on hubs.
Warning: Do not plug RJ-45 to non-compliant DXE-USB device or damage may
occur to either product.
IMPORTANT!!! When using 24v DC remote power from H1 to D1 shielded cable
terminated at both ends must be used or damage may occur. The DXE-USB will
use it for power ground. Pin 6 gnd will not be enough to handle the load.
