1. Introduction
1.1 General
Thank you for purchasing U22-160-DP for your application. The
U22-160-DP extends your host PC’s USB 2.0 port across a
single Cat5e/6 cable to 50 meters (165 ft) with data rates up to
480 Mb/s.
In most instances, no power supply is needed for either side as
the local (host) side gets its power from the PC and it sends
PoC (Power-over-Cable) to the remote (device) side. However
for convenience a power supply is included that can be plugged
in to the remote end for power hungry USB devices. The local
side is in a convenient single-gang Decora® wall-plate. The
remote end has a two port hub built-in to allow connection of 2
USB Devices. The U22-160-DP is a perfect solution for
industrial and commercial applications.
This product can be used to extend a broad range of USB
devices like webcams, printers, keyboards, and disk drives up
to 165 ft (50 m) using single Cat 5/6 cable.

2.1 Using External Power
U22-160-DP draws power from the computer to serve the
remote end devices. When devices connected to the remote
end require more power the voltage drop in the cable may
become an issue. The U22-160-DP includes an external power
supply to serve this additional power requirement, which should
be used at the Remote end.
3. Troubleshooting
If PC fails to detect the USB device, check the LED status on
the Remote unit. Plug the power supply if needed. Cat6 cable is
recommended particularly if the length is longer than 100 ft.
Reboot the Host PC. Connect to a different USB port on the
PC. Try connecting an external hub to the remote unit and plug
the device to the hub.
There are no field serviceable parts or circuits in the device.
Opening the device will void the warranty. If you think the
device is malfunctioning, please contact Hall Research.
