Active USB 2.0 extension for distant peripherals

This 16.4 ft active extension cable connects a USB Type-A male port to a USB Type-A female port. It is designed for users who need to place a printer, scanner or other USB 2.0 device farther from the host computer than a standard passive cable allows. The beige jacket and standard weight of .48 lbs make it a discreet addition to office or home setups.

Signal buffering that meets USB 2.0 electrical

The cable contains active circuitry that regenerates incoming and outgoing signals so the link remains compliant with the USB 2.0 specification for timing and voltage. Without this buffering a passive cable longer than 5 metres would fall outside the standard and could cause enumeration errors or data loss.

Bus-powered operation with daisy-chain flexibility

The electronics draw all required power directly from the USB port, so no external adapter is needed. Up to four of these cables can be connected end-to-end for a total reach of 65 feet while still supporting both low-speed and high-speed devices.

Questions about this item

How does the 16.4 ft length work with the USB 2.0 distance limit?

The active circuitry regenerates the signal so the cable meets USB 2.0 electrical and timing minimums at 16.4 ft, overcoming the standard 5 meter passive limit.

What bandwidth does the USB 2.0 Type A interface actually deliver over this cable?

The cable supports full USB 2.0 bandwidth for both low-speed and high-speed devices across the extended distance.

What does the cable need to mount or connect at each end?

One end plugs into a standard USB Type A male port and the other accepts a USB Type A male connector; it draws power from the host port and weighs .48 lbs.
