5.3.6 Using the USB Modem Extension Y Cable
The UM100C Modem package includes an extension USB Y-shaped cable.
Although the Y cable is not required for use with your UM100C Modem,
it offers increased performance for your UM100C Modem under certain
operating conditions. Connect the Y cable to two separate USB ports of
your computer to deliver sufficient power when needed to increase RF
performance, and to solve clearance issues.
Using the USB Modem Extension Y Cable:
1) Plug the single end of the Y-shaped cable into the UM100C Modem.

2) Depending on the condition you are trying to solve (increased RF performance,
or clearance issues), plug either one of the two connected ends of the USB
modem extension Y cable into the Type A USB port(s) on your computer.

Note: The USB modem extension Y cable connector labeled #1, is the primary
data power cable used to either extend the UM100C modem away from your
computer allowing you to locate the modem in a more optimum signal location
or solve any computer USB port clearance issues. The USB modem extension
Y cable connector labeled #2, is a power boost Y cable and must be used with
connector #1 to provide the modem up to 1Amp of current for use in weaker signal
areas. Must be connected to two separate USB ports.
