Using a CAT5-XT-1100 extender and a self-powered USB hub
If you need to extend the cable from a CAT5-XT-1100 remote extender unit (REX) to the interactive
whiteboard, you must use a self-powered hub. CAT5-XT-1100 extenders don’t provide sufficient
power for a bus-powered USB extender.
N O TE
You can connect the USB cable from the hub to the SMARTBoard 800i series interactive
whiteboard system’s ECP module using the included USB A to mini-B cable or using a standard
USB cable with the mini USB to USB adapter included with your system.
