USB Extenders • Setup Guide
This guide provides basic instructions for an experienced technician to install and operate
the Extron USB Extenders.
The USB Extender Series includes the USB Extender Tx/Rx, AAP Tx/Rx, and Decora ® Tx/Rx. They are USB transmitter and
receiver pairs that extend the usable distance of USB 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 standards with data transfer rates up to 480 Mbp and
data transmission up to 450 ft (135 m) with standard Category 5/5e/6/6e/7 cable.
The rack mountable Tx/Rx, AAP mountable Tx/Rx, and Decora Tx/Rx models can be mixed.
Mount the USB Extenders
The USB Extender series includes transmitters and receivers in three form factors to provide a variety of mounting options
including:
z USB Extender Tx/Rx in quarter rack width, 3 inch deep, 1 inch high metal enclosures
z USB Extender AAP Tx/Rx for double-space Architectural Adapter Plate openings
z USB Extender D (Decora) Tx/Rx for one-gang wall box or mud ring mounting
Choose the appropriate mounting location and install the USB Extender transmitter and receiver following instructions
supplied with the mounting kit. If the rear panel connectors will be covered after mounting, make all connections prior to
permanently mounting a USB Extender.
UTP or STP CAT5 or better cable:
Terminate both ends identically, in accordance with
either the TIA/EIA T 568A or the TIA/EIA T 568B

transmitter Host port as shown on the previous page. The AAP and
Decora transmitters have a female mini USB Type B connector on the
front panel for this connection.
2. Reboot or power up the PC or laptop. The Host LED on the front
panel of the transmitter (c) lights when the PC recognizes the port.
If the PC is supplying transmitter power, the transmitter and receiver
Link LEDs (b) both light.
Connect the Hub (Receiver)
1. Connect up to four USB cables from peripheral devices to the
receiver Hub ports. The order of connection does not matter.
The Host LED on the receiver (c) lights as communications between
the USB transmitter and host occur.
2. As each peripheral is connected, the LED for the appropriate hub
port (d) lights when the PC has detected the device.
