Extended Reach USB 2.0 Cable

This 16.5 ft active repeater cable extends USB 2.0 connections by 5 metres while maintaining data rates up to 480Mbps. It uses a USB A-Male to A-Female layout and draws 5 V power directly from the host port so no external adapter is required. A blue LED on the female end confirms the link is live.

Signal Integrity Under Load

Embedded active electronics recondition the USB 2.0 signal across the full 16 ft length, preventing the lag and dropouts that passive cables exhibit at this distance. The built-in booster sustains 480Mbps throughput without the degradation seen in unamplified runs.

Daisy-Chain Limits

Up to five of these extension cables can be daisy-chained for longer runs, but each segment adds its own repeater so total latency grows with every link. Buyers who need a single uninterrupted run beyond 80 ft or who require USB 3.x speeds cannot use this 2.0-rated cable.

Questions about this item

Will the 480 Mbps rate hold over the full 16.5 ft run?

Yes — the built-in active repeater reconditions the USB 2.0 signal so the high-speed 480 Mbps rate is maintained across the entire 5 metre length.

Does the USB 2.0 interface limit what I can connect?

The cable carries USB 2.0 at up to 480 Mbps and is backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices at 12 Mbps, so any standard USB-A peripheral will work within those speeds.

What connectors and clearance do I need to plug this in?

It has a USB-A male plug on one end and a USB-A female port on the other, requiring only a standard USB-A socket on the host and enough space for the LED-equipped female housing.
