PRODUCT INFORMATION
Notices
- This MSolutions product contains electrical components that may be damaged by electrical spikes, surges, electric shocks, lightning strikes, etc. Use of surge protection is highly recommended to protect and extend the life of your equipment.
- The transmission distances of data over Cat cables are measured using TE CONNECTIVITY 1427071-6 EIA/ TIA-568B termination (T568B) of cables is recommended for optimal performance. To minimize interference of unshielded twisted pairs in the Cat6A (or above) cable, do not run the Cat6A (or above) cabling with or in close parallel proximity to the main power cables.
- Do not substitute or use any power supply other than the enclosed unit, or an MSolutions-approved replacement. Do not disassemble either the Transmitter or Receiver units for any reason. Doing so will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
- MSolutions reserves the right to change the specifications of this unit without prior notice. As a result of this, physical representations or graphical elements contained within this user guide may not be accurate.
Introduction

Understanding the LED’s
This MSolutions extender set includes status LED indicators on both the Host and Device products to show active connections and to further help integrators diagnose potential problems with the associated cabling. The RJ45 Link connections on both the host and device units have orange and green LEDs.
- The orange LED indicates that the unit is receiving power. The LED will blink continuously when there is a link to the unit on the opposing side of the cable.
- The green LED indicates that the unit is communicating with the unit attached to the far side ofthe link over the Cat cable.
Category Cabling for Extenders
The interconnecting Cat cable between the MSolutions products must be terminated using the correct RJ45 pin configuration. The link Cat cable must be a ‘straight’ (pin-to-pin) Cat cable and it is advised that this is wired to the T568B wiring standard as this format is less prone to EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference). When installing Cat cables it is advised that the best possible Cat cable quality possible is used. MSolutions recommends using a Cat6A (or above) cable for installations, especially when running over longer distances, in areas of high EMI, or with high data rate signal distribution.
USB
This USB 3.2 extender allows for USB-A peripherals including cameras, touch screens, smart boards, hard drives, games controllers, USB audio devices, printers, scanners, and HID’s (mouse or keyboard) to be distributed over a distance of up to 100m to a USB-A host device on the far side of the link. The extender supports transparent true plug-and-play USB pass-through without the requirement of software ora driver on the extender kit. A maximum combined data transfer of 5Gbps can be achieved over the link. The Micro-USB connections on both Host and Device units are utilized for firmware updating and are reserved for future CloudOS control.
RS-232 Control
The MS-63U1A-XR can distribute bi-directional serial commands between the transmitter and receiver to allow for control commands to be sent alongside USB. Each unit is fitted with a 3-pin Phoenix connector block that will need the serial TX, RX, and Ground pins terminating for serial pass-through. The link can transparently send any type of serial data as both pieces of equipment can communicate using the same baud rate, stopgap, and parity.
Power
12V 2A DC power connections on both Host and Device. Please only use the supplied 12V/2A DC PSUs supplied with the MSolutions MS-63U1A-XR to power the unit.
