USB Cabling
The Cable Gateway comes with one USB cable. Connect one end of the USB
cable to the Cable Gateway. Connect the other end to a computer's USB port.
The picture shows two USB ports as they might appear on
your computer. Note the two USB icons marking the
ports.
HPNA Cabling
Due to the limitations of standard telephone cables, HPNA devices require that
HPNA cabling does not exceed a total length of 150 meters (500 feet). In other
words, if you have more than 500 feet of telephone wires connecting your
HPNA device to your network, you will be more likely to experience data loss.
Any standard telephone cable can be used to connect the Cable Gateway to your
HPNA network.
