About the USB-2000

The USB-2000 incorporates Icron’s ExtremeUSB® technology. This

technology breaks the five-meter distance barrier for the connection of USB

peripheral devices and allows users to enjoy the benefits of USB technology

beyond the desktop.

With the USB-2000, utilizing multimode fiber, USB devices can

be located up to 500 meters from the host computer.

With the USB-2000, utilizing singlemode fiber, USB devices can

be located up to 10km from the host computer.

The USB-2000 is composed of two individual units, the LEX unit and

the REX unit. Note that there are no physical differences between the

-2 and -4 units. The only difference is the -2

units ship with multimode SFP modules supporting a maximum reach of

500m, and the -4 units ship with singlemode SFP modules

supporting a maximum reach of 10km.

The LEX unit: USB-2000

The LEX unit connects to the host computer using a conventional

USB cable.

The LEX unit is powered by an external AC adapter.

Network Cabling

USB-2000-2

The LEX unit and the REX unit are interconnected by up to 500 meters of

fiber-optic cabling. Two strands of 50/125µm MMF or 62.5/125µm MMF

cabling are required. The cabling subsystem must provide a duplex

connection with crossover, and must be terminated with Duplex LC

connectors at both ends.

USB-2000-4

The LEX unit and the REX unit are interconnected by up to 500 meters of

fiber-optic cabling. Two strands of 9/125µm SMF cabling are required. The

User Guide

Before You Begin

Before you can install the USB-2000, you need to prepare your site.

1. Determine where the host computer is to be located and set up the

computer.

2. Determine where you want to locate the USB device(s).

3. If you are using surface cabling, ensure you have enough fiber-optic

cabling to connect the two locations.

If you are using premise cabling, ensure fiber-optic cabling is

installed between the two locations, with fiber-optic information

outlets located near both the computer and the USB device.

Installing the LEX unit

1. Place the LEX unit near the host computer.

2. Plug the power adapter into a suitable AC outlet.

3. Connect the power adapter to the LEX unit.

4. Plug the Type B connector on the USB cable (included) into the

Host port on the LEX unit.

5. Plug the Type A connector on the USB cable into a USB port on the

host computer.

NOTE:The host computer must be equipped with an EHCI (USB 2.0) host

controller. Support for OHCI/UHCI (USB 1.1) host controllers is

not provided.

Installing the REX unit

1. Place the REX unit near the USB device(s).

2. Plug the power adapter into a suitable AC outlet.

3. Connect the power adapter to the REX unit.

Connecting the LEX unit to the REX unit

With Surface Cabling

1. Plug one end of the fiber-optic cabling (not included) into the Link

port on the LEX unit.

2. Plug the other end of the fiber-optic cabling into the Link port on the

REX unit.

USB-2000

With Premise Cabling

1. Plug one end of a fiber-optic patch cord (not included) into the Link

port on the LEX unit.

2. Plug the other end of the patch cord into the fiber-optic information

outlet near the host computer.

3. Plug one end of the second fiber-optic patch cord (not included) into

the Link port on the REX unit.

4. Plug the other end of the second patch cord into the fiber-optic

information outlet near the USB device.

NOTE:If you are installing a USB-2000 unit, the

maximum length of the fiber-optic cable, including patch cords,

must not exceed 500 meters.

NOTE: If you are installing a USB-2000 unit, the

maximum length of the fiber-optic cable, including patch cords,

must not exceed 10,000 meters.

NOTE: The cabling must provide a duplex connection with

crossover, and must be terminated with Duplex LC connectors at

both ends.

Checking the Installation

1. Check that the Power LEDs on the LEX unit and the REX unit are

both on.

2. Check that the Link LEDs on the LEX unit and the REX unit are

both on.

3. Check that the Host LED on the LEX unit is on.
