    Using USB extenders and switchers with Nureva audio systems

    • PDF

    Article summary

    USB extenders and host switchers can be used with Nureva® audio systems. Nureva recommends using the USB extenders and host switchers listed below. These devices meet our standards for audio quality and reliability. Using USB extenders or host switchers that have not been validated with Nureva systems may result in reduced audio conference quality due to increased latency and dropped data packets.

    When using HDL200, HDL310 and HDL410 systems with HDBaseT extenders, setting the USB speed to Full Speed (USB 1.1) is necessary for a successful combination. HDL300 and Dual HDL300 systems can be used with HDBaseT extenders without changing the USB speed.

    Alternative to USB extenders

    The HDL300, Dual HDL300, HDL310 and HDL410 systems include Ethernet cables used for Power over Ethernet (PoE). USB extenders can be avoided by using a long PoE cable between the connect module and the speaker bar. This will allow the connect module to be placed closer to the host device.

    Supplied Ethernet cable specifications

    • CAT6

    • SSTP (screened-shielded twisted pair)

    • 26 AWG cable

    • 50' (15 m)

    Replacement Ethernet cable specifications

    If a longer or replacement cable is needed, an Ethernet cable with the following specifications can be used:

    • CAT5e minimum

    • SSTP (screened-shielded twisted pair)

    • Minimum 26 AWG cable for cable runs up to 164' (50 m)

    • Minimum 24 AWG cable for cable runs up to 246' (75 m)

    • Minimum 23 AWG cable for cable runs up to 328' (100 m)

    Note: When using third-party cables, ensure the cable meets the applicable country, regional and local electrical codes or ordinances relating to that type of cable and related accessories.
