This USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable is designed to extend the reach of USB 2.0 devices by up to 15 feet, making it ideal for connecting peripherals that are out of reach of standard USB cables. It uses signal regeneration technology to maintain data transfer speeds of up to 480 Mbits/sec over the extended length, ensuring reliable performance for devices like printers, scanners, and external drives. The cable is powered directly from the USB port, eliminating the need for an external power source and simplifying setup.
The cable supports cascading up to five active repeater cables, allowing for a total extension of up to 80 feet without sacrificing data transfer speed or signal integrity. This makes it a versatile solution for users who need to connect USB devices across larger distances in home or office environments. It is compatible with both PCs and Macs and works with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices, ensuring broad compatibility with existing hardware.
The cable features a male USB Type A connector on one end and a female USB Type A connector on the other, allowing for easy connection to standard USB ports. Its plug-and-play design means no additional software or drivers are required for installation. The build quality is robust enough for regular use, though it is not intended for outdoor or high-vibration environments.
The cable comes with no additional accessories, as it is a standalone extension cable. Users should ensure that their USB devices and host ports support USB 2.0 for optimal performance. While it extends the physical reach of USB connections, it does not provide any additional features like data encryption or enhanced security beyond standard USB functionality.
