Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the USB SuperBooster Wall Plate. Conquer USB length
limitations and put your USB devices where you need them with the patent pending USB
SuperBooster Wall Plate from Cables To Go. 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 any other USB device exactly where you want it! The USB
SuperBooster Wall Plate 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 two, single gang Decora compatible wall plates. The transmitter/receiver pair is
connected via standard Cat5, Cat5E, or Cat6 UTP cable allowing for easy in-wall

RJ45 connectors. The USB SuperBooster Wall Plate is self-powered so no external
