READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE USB-400FO
This equipment is a new version replacing the existing part number,
EXT-USB-400FO, and can provide outstanding extension facilities for any device
or USB application that requires a peripheral connection over a distance, such as
a USB camera or USB hard drive, keyboard and mouse.
The USB-400FO works like a USB hub with extension capabilities over a distance of
up to 1,640 feet. This means, for example, that a remote USB sensor can be placed
at a safe distance from the sender unit in situations that demand this type of security.
The USB-400FO signal controls the keyboard, mouse, trackball and other USB
peripherals using send and receive units. The USB signal is extended by using
multimode fi ber optic cabling.
• The USB-400FO units are housed in a metal box for better RF shielding.
• The USB-400FO uses dual multi-mode LC fi ber optic cables to connect the
sender and receiver units.
• The USB-400FO units were designed to operate on any type of computer
where USB is used for peripherals.
• Use the computer’s USB port when using a local keyboard/mouse that is not
part of the extensions used with the USB-400FO sender unit.
• In order to operate the product properly, the USB-400FO Sender and USB-
400FO Receiver units must be connected, powered up, and fi ber optic cables
installed between both units.

To complete the installation, you will also require the following items that are not
included with the product:
• USB 1.1 or 2.0 Compatible computer (host computer) with a USB compliant

• USB 1.1 or 2.0 Compatible device
• 2-strand fi ber optic cable with Duplex LC connectors (if using surface cabling)
OR, 2-strand fi ber optic cabling with two information outlets and two 2-strand
