Installation
Please Note: Only the USB 3.0 Active Extension Pro 8m (Nr. 43158) or 15m (Nr. 43229) can be connected
directly to your computer. If you are creating an extension using multiple units from the Extension Pro
System then the first unit must always be the USB 3.0 Active Extension Pro 8m (Nr. 43158) or 15m (Nr.
43229).
Once the first cable has been connected, you can then cascade further cables to achieve a maximum
distance of 40m. The final part of the extension can be any of the three parts of the Extension Pro System.
If you need to extend multiple devices or if you connect a USB device with high power requirement, then
you should use the 10m Hub Pro unit (Nr. 43159) with it's power supply as the final part of the extension.
