Extending USB connection using an active (powered) USB-CAT
converter and a faceplate
Depending on the environment where you install the display, you can use an active (powered)
USB-CAT converter to extend USB connection from a faceplate.
1. Connect the mini-B plug of the supplied USB cable to the USB Mini-B port on the display,
and the type-A plug of the cable to the USB type-A port on the active USB-CAT converter.
2. Connect a Category 5/5e/6 network cable to the RJ-45 LAN port on the converter.
3. Connect the converter to the faceplate using a suitable USB cable.
4. Connect the computer to the faceplate using a suitable USB cable.
• Refer to the documentation of the active USB-CAT converter for the maximum length of the Category
5/5e/6 network cable.
• The type of USB port and plug on the active USB-CAT converter may be different from the description
above. Use a USB cable that matches the USB jack on the display and the USB port on the active USB-
CAT converter.
• Keep the Category 5/5e/6 network cable away from power lines and cables to avoid electronic
interference.
• The total length of the USB cables used to connect the display to the active USB-CAT converter,
converter to the faceplate and computer to the faceplate should not exceed 5 meters.
