Extending Your USB 
2.0 Cable
The 16' (5 m) high-speed USB 2.0 cable included with your SMART Board V280 
interactive whiteboard is within the limit defined by the USB 2.0 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 SMART Active USB Extension Cable 
(Part No. USB-XT) to extend your USB 
connection by 16' (5 m). This configuration 
provides a total 32' (10 m) reach between your 
interactive whiteboard and your computer. 
See the diagram on the following page.
IMPORTANT
Connect an external power supply (not included) to your SMART Board V280 
interactive whiteboard when using a bus powered hub, such as the SMART 
Active USB Extension Cable, with your product. This power supply ensures 
that your interactive whiteboard receives enough power to function reliably.
Passive USB extension cables are not supported. (An active device includes 
circuitry for regenerating the USB signals.)
The external power supply (when required) must meet the Limited Power 
Source (LPS) requirements of CSA/UL/IEC/EN 60950-1.
