2. USB 3.0 devices will perform at USB 2.0 speeds if extended through the

UEH4102.

3. The cable distance between switches must be no greater than 100m if

CAT 5e/6/7 is used as the connection media.

4. Local Extender and Remote Extender to be on the same subnet.

5. Increasing the number of switches between the local and remote extender

may reduce the available bandwidth and as a result prevent some devices

from functioning properly.

6. Some networks may be configured to block devices with unfamiliar

MAC addresses. If this is the case, you will need to provide your network

administrator the MAC addresses of the local and remote extender units.

These can be found on the label on the bottom of each unit.
