Extending Your USB
2.0 Cable
The 16' (5 m) high-speed USB 2.0 cable included with your SMART Board V280
interactive whiteboard is within the limit defined by the USB 2.0 standard for
maximum length.
However, if this cable isn’t long enough to reach
from your computer to your interactive
whiteboard, you can use a bus powered hub
such as the SMART Active USB Extension Cable
(Part No. USB-XT) to extend your USB
connection by 16' (5 m). This configuration
provides a total 32' (10 m) reach between your
interactive whiteboard and your computer.
See the diagram on the following page.
IMPORTANT
• Connect an external power supply (not included) to your SMART Board V280
interactive whiteboard when using a bus powered hub, such as the SMART
Active USB Extension Cable, with your product. This power supply ensures
that your interactive whiteboard receives enough power to function reliably.
• Passive USB extension cables are not supported. (An active device includes
circuitry for regenerating the USB signals.)
• The external power supply (when required) must meet the Limited Power
Source (LPS) requirements of CSA/UL/IEC/EN 60950-1.
