System Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Rose Electronics CrystalLink USB2.0 Dual Port CAT5e/6/7 extender.

The CrystalLink USB2.0 Dual Port provides transparent USB extension up to 330 feet (100 meters) over

CAT5e/6/7 UTP cable. Individual USB devices such as a keyboard or mouse, USB thumb-drive, USB printer,

game controllers, flash drives, web cameras, interactive whiteboard and USB joystick can be extended away

from the host PC using the CrystalLink USB2.0 Dual Port extender. Additional USB devices can be connected

using a powered USB hub.

The CrystalLink USB2.0 Dual Port extension system consists of two units, a transmitter and a receiver. The

transmitter connects to your computers’ USB port. The transmitter is linked directly to the receiver using

industry standard CAT5e/6/7 cable and the USB devices connect to the receiver.

The CrystalLink USB2.0 Dual Port is a unique extender providing the option to apply power at the local or

remote unit. The supplied 24V/1A power adapter can be connected to either the transmitter or receiver unit for

normal operation. This option gives added flexibility/convenience for customers who may have power outlet

limitations.

NEVER power BOTH the transmitter and receiver as the units may be damaged. This is not a Power

over Ethernet (PoE) product.

The instructions in this manual assume a general knowledge of computer installation procedures, familiarity

with cabling requirements, and some understanding of USB device operation.

CrystalLink USB2.0 Dual Port Models

The CrystalLink USB2.0 Dual Port enables users to extend beyond the standard 5m cable limit for USB

peripherals by locating USB device(s) up to 330 feet (100 meters) from the computer.

Transmitter Unit

The transmitter connects to the host computer using the supplied standard USB cable. Power for the

transmitter is provided by the Host PC. Power for the receiver is provided by the 24V/1A adapter connected at

either the transmitter or receiver end. The transmitter delivers power over the CAT5e/6/7 extension link to the

receiver when the included power supply is connected to the transmitter.

Installation Procedure

Before beginning an installation, ensure you have all products and components ready for the installation

Figure 3. CrystalLink USB2.0 Dual Port – standard installation



Determine where the computer is to be located and set up the computer.



Determine where you want to locate the remote USB device(s).



Remember the product supports a maximum distance of 330ft (100m) for transparent USB devices. If

using patch (stranded) cables or premise wiring, the achievable extension distance may be less.

Installation Using Premise Wiring

If you are using premise cabling, ensure CAT5e cabling is installed between the two locations, with CAT5e

premise outlets located near both the computer and the USB device(s), and the total length, including patch

cords is not more than 330ft (100m).

Installing the Transmitter Unit



Place the transmitter unit near the computer.



Install the supplied USB cable between the transmitter and USB port on the host computer.

Installing the Receiver Unit



Place the receiver unit near the USB device(s) in the desired remote location.

CrystalLink USB2.0 Dual Port Manual 6

Installing Flexible Power



Connect 24V, 1A supplied AC power adapter to the local or remote extender based on installation

requirement.

Note: Use only the AC adapter supplied with the CrystalLink Extender. Use of substitute adapters may cause permanent

damage to the system and will void the warranty.

NEVER plug a power adapter to BOTH local and remote extenders, as this may cause permanent damage to the system

and will void the warranty.

Connecting the Transmitter to Receiver

To ensure optimum operation, it is recommended to use only solid core CAT5e/6/7 UTP cabling or better to

connect the Transmitter/Receiver units, up to 330 feet (100 meters). The cabling must have a straight-through

conductor configuration with no crossovers and must be terminated with 8 conductor RJ45 connectors at both

ends. The combined length of any patch cords using stranded conductors must not exceed 100m.

Connection Using Surface Cabling



Plug one end of the CAT5e/6/7 cabling (not included) into the Link port (RJ45) on the transmitter unit.



Plug the other end of the CAT5e/6/7 cabling into the Link port (RJ45) on the receiver unit.

Connection Using Premise Cabling



Plug one end of a CAT5e/6/7 patch cord (not included) into the Link port (RJ45) on the transmitter unit.



Plug the other end of the patch cord into the CAT5e/6/7 information outlet near the host computer.



Plug one end of the second CAT5e/6/7 patch cord (not included) into the Link port (RJ45) on the

receiver unit.



Plug the other end of the second patch cord into the CAT5e/6/7 information outlet near the USB device.

Connecting a USB Device



Install any software required to operate the USB device(s). Refer to the documentation for the USB

device(s), as required.



Connect the USB device to the device port on the remote extender.



Check that the device is detected and installed properly in the operating system.

Checking the Installation

Check that the Power, Activity, Link and Host LEDs are on at each end. If the Host or Link LEDs are

permanently off, then the cabling between the local and remote extenders may not be installed properly or is

defective.

For Windows users (XP, 7, 8, 8.1, 10), open the Device Manager to confirm that the CrystalLink Extender has

installed correctly. Expand the entry for Universal Serial Bus controllers. If the CrystalLink Extender has been

installed correctly, you should find it listed as a “Generic USB Hub”.

For Mac OS X users, open the System Profiler to confirm that the CrystalLink Extender has installed correctly.

In the left-hand column under Hardware, select “USB” and inspect the right-hand panel. If the CrystalLink

Extender has been installed correctly, you should find it listed as a “Hub” under the USB High-Speed Bus/USB

Bus.
