Installation Procedure
Before you can install the CrystalLink extender, you need to prepare your site:

2. Determine where you want to locate the USB device(s).
3. If you are using surface cabling, the extender supports a maximum distance of 100m.
Installation Using Premise Wiring
If you are using premise cabling, ensure CAT5e cabling is installed between the two locations, with
CAT5e information outlets located near both the computer and the USB device(s), and the total
length, including patch cords is no more than 100m.
Mounting the Local Extender or Remote Extender
If mounting is required, the local
