Active USB 2.0 Extension Cable 82 ft

This bus-powered Monoprice 107644 cable extends a USB 2.0 connection up to 82 feet without signal degradation. Active electronics boost the signal to maintain 480 Mbps high-speed performance well beyond the standard 16.4-foot passive limit. Gold-plated Type-A male to female connectors ensure reliable contact. It supports Windows 98 through 7, Mac OS X 10.0+, and Linux without requiring additional drivers.

For distant cameras, Kinect, PS3 Move, or hubs

The cable suits setups where a printer, webcam, keyboard, mouse, Xbox Kinect, or PS3 Move must sit far from the host computer. An optional DC power jack accepts a 2220 adapter for high-draw devices such as USB hard drives or powered hubs. It is not for users who need USB 3.0 or higher bandwidth, nor for installations requiring longer runs without an external power option for demanding peripherals.

81.98 ft active reach over 26/22 AWG conductors

The decisive spec is the 81.98-foot active length using 26/22 AWG conductors that deliver USB 2.0 480 Mbps speeds. This single figure determines whether the cable spans your required distance while maintaining signal integrity for compatible devices.

Questions about this item

Does the cable itself require any periodic replacement or maintenance?

The cable is a passive assembly with no moving parts and no consumable components, so it does not have a scheduled replacement interval.

What is the first limit reached when the cable runs continuously at full 480 Mbps throughput?

The 81.98 ft length is the practical limit; the built-in repeater maintains signal integrity up to this distance, beyond which USB 2.0 timing margins would be exceeded.

How much heat or noise does the active repeater produce during all-day operation?

The repeater is bus-powered and draws only the current allowed by the USB 2.0 spec, so it runs silently and stays at ambient temperature.
