VERVIEW
The Vaddio Extreme USB 2.0 Extenders
provide a complete working solution
powered by Extreme USB Long Reach
USB 2.0 enabled by the Lion’sGate™
USB 2.0 Extension ASIC. The system
has a transmit (TX) or remote device
side and a receive (RX) or Host PC side
and extends USB 2.0 high speed and
USB 1.1 devices up to 100m (328.1’)
over CAT-5 or better cable.
The TX side has the USB Type-A female USB 2.0 input jack and is located with the device and is powered with
the 5 VDC power supply while the RX side is port powered by the Host PC. Power is not required on the RX Host
side for normal operation.
The Extenders operate with USB 2.0 high-speed host controllers and USB 1.1 classic hosts. All USB device
types are supported including Control, Interrupt, Bulk and Isochronous at up to 480Mbp/s. The Extenders are true
plug and play and ready to operate out of the box and no new driver installation is required (bonus).
The Extreme USB 2.0 Extenders support all major operation systems including Windows®, Mac OS® and Linux®
and are ideal for a wide variety of USB devices like Vaddio HD-USB Cameras, EasyUSB Mixer/Amp and
EasyTalk Wireless USB Mic System as well as printers, scanners, touch screens and game controllers.
Intended Use:
Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built and
tested for use indoors, and with the provided power supply and cabling. The use of a power supply other than the
one provided or outdoor operation has not been tested and could damage the device and/or create a potentially
unsafe operating condition.
Important Safeguards:
Read and understand all instructions before using. Do not operate any device if it has been dropped or damaged.
In this case, a Vaddio technician must examine the product before operating. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions. Do not connect Ethernet or
Power over Ethernet (PoE) cables directly to the RJ-45 ports on the device as damage may result.
Use only the power supply provided with the system. Use of any unauthorized
power supply will void any and all warranties.
Please do not use “pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors. These pass-thru type connectors do not w ork
well for professional installations and can be t he cause of inte rmittent co nnections w hich can result i n
the data or control line failing and locking up. For best results please use standard RJ-45 co nnectors
and test all cables for proper pin-outs prior to use.
