how to install Black Box USB 3.1 Extender over Fiber - Multimode, 4-Port

  • Plan your layout: decide where the host computer will sit and where the four USB devices will be placed, then select a path for the multimode fiber that avoids sharp bends and excessive tension.
  • Connect the transmitter to the host computer: attach the USB cables from the computer to the transmitter unit and ensure it is powered if required by the model.
  • Run the multimode fiber: connect one end of the multimode fiber to the transmitter and the other end to the receiver unit, making sure the fiber is properly seated and secured.
  • Attach USB devices to the remote hub: plug your keyboard, mouse, storage device, printer, or other USB peripherals into the receiver-side ports as needed.
  • Power on and verify operation: power both units, observe the status indicators, and test each connected USB device to confirm normal operation and drive recognition.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is a USB 3.1 Extender over Fiber - Multimode? A USB 3.1 Extender over Fiber uses a fiber optic link to transmit USB signals between a local host and remote USB devices. It enables high-speed USB connectivity across distances beyond the practical reach of standard copper USB cables while maintaining device performance and compatibility.
  • How far can I extend USB devices with this system? The achievable distance depends on the multimode fiber, link configuration, and environmental factors. Multimode fiber is chosen for cost-effective, shorter-range links in typical enterprise settings. Your exact maximum distance will be defined by the specific model and fiber grade in use.
  • Do I need special drivers? In most cases, USB devices connect through the extender without additional drivers. The extender is designed to be compatible with standard USB devices and common operating systems, providing a plug-and-play experience.
  • Can I connect any USB device to the remote side? The system supports a broad range of USB peripherals, including keyboards, mice, printers, scanners, USB storage, and other standard USB devices. Very high-power devices may require separate power considerations depending on the model.
  • Is the setup hot-swappable? Yes. The transmitter, receiver, and USB devices can generally be connected or disconnected without powering down the entire system, though it’s best to power down before making major changes in sensitive setups.
  • Which operating systems are supported? The extender is designed to work with common operating systems when used with standard USB devices. This typically includes Windows, macOS, and Linux environments, but performance can vary based on device drivers and USB class support.
