Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the USB SuperBooster Receiver Dongle. The USB
SuperBooster Receiver Dongle is one component of a complete solution that, when
paired with a transmitter (sold separately) allows you to conquer USB length limitations
and put your USB devices where you need them. This wall plate solution extends the
distance of a USB device to a host computer up to 150ft so you can place your USB
projector, camera, printer, or other USB device exactly where you want it! The USB
SuperBooster Dongle is powerful yet simple, with no drivers to install or special software
required. It is also compatible with any computer that supports USB.
This plug-and-play device consists of a transmitter unit and receiver unit incorporated
into single gang Decora compatible wall plates or dongles. Two transmitter options are
available so you can customize the configuration to meet your own needs. Choose from a
transmitter wall plate or a dongle.
The transmitter/receiver pair is connected via standard Cat5, Cat5E, or Cat6 UTP cable
allowing for easy installation. This makes for a clean, finished installation important for
home owners, classrooms, offices and anywhere you don’t want visible cables lying
around. Use pre-terminated network cables or pull un-terminated cable and use the
included tool-less IDC RJ45 connector. The USB SuperBooster Dongle is bus-powered
so no external power source is required.
