NOTES
• These are not plenum-rated solutions.
• USB cable lengths must not exceed 16' (5 m). For more information, see USB Connectors and
Cables on page 19.
• The computer’s USB port must provide sufficient power for the bus-powered extension cables
and the SMART Board™ 600 Series interactive whiteboard. Laptops may not provide
sufficient power while running on batteries.
• Don’t connect more than four USB-XT extension cables. For more information, see Extending
USB Connections on page 20.
• Don’t route multiple USB-XT extension cables where they aren’t accessible, for example,
inside walls or ceilings.
• The total number of hubs used doesn’t exceed the USB 2.0 specification limit of five hubs:

Complex Application 1 – CAT5-XT Extender and Self-Powered USB Hub
If you need to extend the cable from CAT5-XT extender Unit A to the interactive whiteboard, you
must use a self-powered hub. CAT5-XT extenders don’t provide sufficient power for both the
interactive whiteboard and a bus-powered USB extender.
NOTES
• Each USB hub or extender used with the CAT5-XT extender reduces the maximum Cat 5
cable lengths by 33' (10 m). The maximum Cat 5 cable lengths in this configuration are:
– 87' (26.7 m) when used with computers with Windows operating systems.
– 57' (17.4 m) when used with Mac computers.
• You can use plenum-rated Cat 5 cable, if required.
• Only use 6' (1.8 m) USB cables (included) to connect the Unit A and Unit B extenders.
– Don’t use USB cables longer than 6' (1.8 m).
– Don’t extend the 6' (1.8 m) USB cables with passive USB extension cables. For more
information, see Prohibited Cable Assemblies on page 19.
• The computer’s USB port must provide sufficient power for the bus-powered CAT5-XT
extenders. Laptops may not provide sufficient power while running on batteries.
• The self-powered (externally powered) hub supplies power to the interactive whiteboard.
• The length of the USB cable that connects the self-powered hub to the interactive whiteboard
must not exceed 16' (5 m). For more information, see USB Connectors and Cables on
page 19.
• The number of hubs used in this configuration doesn’t exceed the USB 2.0 specification limit

NOTE: You can use only one USB-XT extension cable with Mac computers.
NOTES
• Each USB hub or extender used with the CAT5-XT extender reduces the maximum Cat 5
cable lengths by 33' (10 m). The maximum Cat 5 cable lengths in this configuration are:
– 54' (16.5 m) with one USB-XT, or 21' (6.4 m) with two USB-XT units, when used with
computers with Windows operating systems.
