Using the USB Modem
Extension y Cable
• The Cricket A605 modem package
includes an extension USB Y-shaped
cable. Although the Y cable is not required
for use with your Cricket A605 modem,
it offers increased performance for your
modem under certain operating conditions.
Connect the Y cable to two separate USB
ports of your computer to deliver sufficient
power when needed to increase RF
performance, and to solve clearance
issues.
Using the USB Modem Extension y Cable:
1)
Plug the single end of the Y-shaped cable
into the Cricket A605 modem.
[A]
2)
Depending on the condition you are
trying to solve (increased RF
performance, or clearance issues), plug
either one of the two connected ends
of the USB modem extension Y cable
into the Type A USB port(s) on your
computer.

Note:
The USB modem extension Y cable
black connector is the primary data power
cable used to either extend the Cricket
A605 modem away from your computer
allowing you to locate the modem in a more
optimum signal location or solve any
computer USB port clearance issues. The
USB modem extension Y cable gray
connector is a power boost Y cable and
must be used with black connector to
provide the modem up to 1Amp of current
for use in weaker signal areas. The Y cable
must be connected to two separate USB
ports.
