These aren't plenum-rated solutions. Don't route multiple USB-XT extension cables where
l
they aren't accessible, for example, inside walls or ceilings.
USB cable length must not exceed 16' (5 m). See USB connectors and cables on page 19

The computer's USB interface must provide sufficient power for the bus-powered extension
l

Don't connect more than three USB-XT extension cables. The combined length of the
l
extender cables results in too much voltage drop to power another extender.
