Introduction
The USB20 Extender series can be used to build a system to transmit USB signals across
greater distances than what is generally allowed by a USB cable, taking advantage of the
data transmission capabilities of CATx cables and network switches. By using switches,
transmission distances of up to 100 meters can be reached. This makes it possible to place
USB devices (such as microphone, web camera, keyboard and mouse, mass storage etc.) far
away from the Host device while still having full usage of them.

 The USB-A ports are capable of supplying 1A to the connected USB devices,
up to a maximum of 3A at the same time across all four ports (three ports in case of
USB20-1GBE-HS13P).
Cable Extension Information
The maximum cable length between the extenders or a switch and an extender is 100m.
This means that by equipping a switch between the extenders, a maximum of 200m distance
can be reached. If more switches are added between the extenders, each can lengthen the
distance by 100m.
Either CAT5, CAT6 or CAT7 cables can be used.
1 If the extenders are placed in an environment where the ESD level can be higher than
average, it is recommended using shielded CAT cables for undisturbed signal transmission.
Powering Options
Only the USB20-1GBE-DS4 device is supplied with a power adaptor. USB-1GBE-HS10 is
powered over the USB connection to the Host device.
The USB20-1GBE-DS4P and USB20-1GBE-HS13P models are PoE+ devices, and can be
powered by a PoE+ capable switch or PoE+ power injector. Please note that a non-PoE+
switch or power injector does not supply enough power for these extenders. In such cases
they need to be powered locally.
 The power adaptor is not supplied for USB20-1GBE-DS4P and USB20-1GBE-HS13P. It
may be purchased as an optional accessory. Please contact sales@lightware.com.

Pairing the Devices
Pairing happens using the MAC address of the devices. It does not happen automatically, it
must be done manually. The process is the following:
1. Use a long, thin object (e.g. a paper clip) to press the Pairing button of one of the devices
once shortly. This will cause the Link LED to flash quickly.
2. Press the Pairing button on the other device in the same way. The Link LED of both
devices will light continuously, and the MAC address of the device-side extender is added
to the list of paired devices in the host-side extender and vice versa.
3. Repeat the procedure for each device-side extender in the system. Up to seven device-
side extenders can be paired with a single host-side extender at once.
The pairing procedure has a time limit of 10 minutes. If the pairing does not occur in this
timeframe, the procedure must be restarted.
 If the devices are paired, but there is no network connection, the Link LED will blink slowly.
Deleting a paired device
You can delete paired devices from the memory by pressing the Pairing button for more than
10 seconds. Please keep in mind that this will only delete the pairing list in the current device.
To completely remove the pairing on both devices, this procedure must be done on both of
them.
Setting a Dynamic IP address (DHCP)
You can set DHCP by pressing the Pairing button for the first 5 seconds of the device turning
on. DHCP gets enabled and the device restarts.
