25 ft USB 2.0 Active Cable

This Cables To Go 38989 cable extends a USB 2.0 connection up to 25 ft (7.62 m) using a built-in active booster. It connects a standard USB Type-A port to a Type-B device such as a printer, scanner or interactive whiteboard. The booster sits in the middle of the cable, allowing it to pass through raceway and maintain signal integrity beyond the standard five metre limit. It draws 100 mA from the host USB port.

Ideal for distant USB 2.0 peripherals

Suitable for users who need to place a USB 2.0 or 1.1 device far from the computer without signal loss. Not for buyers who require USB 3.0 or higher data rates, or who need a passive cable without an in-line booster. Also unsuitable for setups that cannot supply the required 100 mA from the host port.

25 ft active reach decides fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the 25 ft active extension length. If the installation distance exceeds the standard passive limit, this cable meets the need; if a shorter or passive run is sufficient, the active electronics are unnecessary.

Questions about this item

Does the 25 ft USB 2.0 A Male to B Male active cable arrive ready to use, or do I need a separate power adapter?

The cable draws 100mA directly from the computer USB port, so no external power adapter is required.

The listing shows only the 25 ft length — are shorter active versions of this model available?

This MPN 38989 is supplied at 25 ft (7.62 m); other lengths would carry different part numbers.

Will the centre booster on this 25 ft active cable maintain full USB 2.0 high-speed throughput for a printer?

The built-in booster regenerates signals to meet USB 2.0 electrical and timing minimums, supporting both low-speed and high-speed devices.
