How to use

Install the keystone insert by snapping it into a compatible standard keystone opening on a wall plate or patch panel until it locks in place. Connect an external USB Type-A cable to the rear of the insert and plug the device or host cable into the front female Type-A port. Ensure cables are fully seated to maintain a reliable USB 3.0 SuperSpeed connection. For optimal performance, use USB 3.0 certified cables and connect to USB 3.0 ports on host devices.

Recommendations

Position the keystone insert in locations that allow easy access to the front port while keeping cable runs short and free of sharp bends. For consistent SuperSpeed performance, pair the insert with quality USB 3.0 cables and avoid routing alongside high-power electrical lines. When installing in multi-gang plates or dense AV racks, verify that adjacent modules do not obstruct cable connector insertion.
