This USB 2.0 A to B active cable is designed to extend the reach of USB 2.0 connections beyond the standard 5-meter limit. It allows users to connect USB 2.0 peripherals such as printers, scanners, or external hard drives up to 15 meters or 50 feet away from a computer or server without signal loss. The cable uses active circuitry that is powered directly through the USB bus, eliminating the need for an external power source. This makes it ideal for environments where long-distance connectivity is required without additional power supplies.
The cable features fully shielded construction to ensure reliable data transfer and minimize interference. It includes one USB 'A' male connector and one USB 'B' male connector, making it compatible with standard USB 2.0 devices and ports. The plug-and-play design means no drivers or additional software are needed for installation, simplifying setup for users. Its black color and durable materials make it suitable for both office and industrial environments.
This cable is particularly useful in scenarios where devices need to be placed at a distance from the host computer, such as in large offices, manufacturing floors, or retail environments. It supports data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps, which is standard for USB 2.0, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of peripherals. The TAA certification ensures compliance with federal procurement standards, making it suitable for government and educational institutions.
The cable comes with a 2-year warranty from StarTech.com, providing users with confidence in its durability and performance. It is recommended for use with USB 2.0 devices only, as it may not support higher-speed USB 3.0 or later standards. Users should ensure that both the host and peripheral devices support USB 2.0 for optimal performance.
