Connect up to four USB cables from peripheral devices (for example, a keyboard,
mouse, or web cam) to the receiver Output Hub ports (the order of connection does not
matter). As soon as a peripheral device is connected, the Host LEDs light steadily.
As each peripheral is connected, the Hub LED for its port lights when the computer has
detected the device.
Connecting the Fiber Optic Cable
When setting up the FOX T/R USB Extender Plus, first connect the transmitter with the
receiver through their LC SFP connectors using an LC2 fiber optic cable (not provided). You
must use the appropriate type of cable for your extender model, singlemode or multimode
(typically, the singlemode cable has a yellow jacket and the multimode, an orange or aqua
jacket).
NOTE: Each end of the two fiber optic cables is labeled. The two ends of one cable are
labeled A1 and B2 while the ends of the other cable are B1 and A2. Connectors A1
and B1 connect to one unit, and connectors A2 and B2 to the other.
Connect the fiber optic cable to a unit by sliding each connector, with the clip facing
upwards, into the appropriate port of the LC SFP connector until it snaps into place.
NOTE: The A ends of both wires must be connected to the same side of both LC SFP
connectors (for example, the Tx port), and the B ends must be connected to the
other side (for example, the Rx port).
