Extending your USB cable
The 16' 5" (5 m) USB cable included with your interactive whiteboard is within the limit defined by the USB
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 active USB extension cable
(Part No. USB-XT) to extend the USB connection.
Avoiding electromagnetic interference (EMI)
You can take some precautions to prevent EMI to your interactive whiteboard:
l
Don’t route USB cables parallel to power cables.
l
Cross USB cables over power cables at a 90º angle to reduce the risk of interference on the USB
cables.
l
Don’t route USB cables close to common sources of EMI, such as electric motors or fluorescent
lighting ballasts.
l
Don’t bend USB cables sharply.
l
Don’t use USB plug adapters or passive USB wall plates.
