About the USB Extender Tx/Rx
The USB Extender Tx/Rx is a family of USB transmitters and receivers in enclosures supporting
a variety of mounting options. A transmitter and receiver extend the distance of USB data
over a single Category (CAT) 5 (or better) unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted
pair (STP) cable. The USB signals can be transmitted up to 450 feet (135 m) using these
cables.

A USB Extender system consists of a transmitter (Tx) and a receiver (Rx). The transmitter
connects directly to a USB port on a PC or USB host. The receiver features a four port
USB hub to connect multiple peripheral devices. The USB Extender Tx/Rx, AAP Tx/Rx, and
Decora Tx/Rx transmitters and receivers can be mixed to accommodate applications that may
require both rack mountable and architectural USB Extenders.
The USB Extender series complies with the USB 2.0 standard, supporting USB 2.0 (480 Mbps
high speed), USB 1.1 (12 Mbps full speed), and USB 1.0 (1.5 Mbps low speed) for data
transmission throughout the system. It also supplies +5 VDC (up to 500 mA) of power on
each of the receiver USB peripheral ports.
Both transmitter and receiver feature a front panel USB host activity LED, power indicator,
and a twisted pair Link LED for local or remote troubleshooting.
The USB Extenders are in 3 inches deep, quarter rack width, 1 inch high metal enclosures.
They can be set on a tabletop or mounted in a rack, under or through furniture, or to a
projector pole.
The USB Extender AAP and USB Extender D are in a 1.4 inches deep, two-space plate size
enclosure.
The USB Extender AAPs fit into all Cable Cubby
and HSA 822/822MS (bottom slot only), and the AVTrac
