25-metre active USB 2.0 extension

This active cable extends a USB 2.0 connection up to 25 metres between a computer and a peripheral. It draws power directly from the host port and ships with a universal power adapter for reliable operation over long runs. The male Type A to female Type A layout makes it a straightforward drop-in link for existing devices.

Signal limits of the USB 2.0 standard

Passive copper cables cannot reach this length without signal degradation, so the built-in repeater regenerates the data stream to maintain USB 2.0 electrical specifications. The active design eliminates distance-related errors that would otherwise appear well before 25 metres. No software drivers are required; the cable is transparent to the operating system.

Capacity headroom and daisy-chain option

A single cable covers the full 25-metre specification for one device. Two cables can be daisy-chained to reach 50 metres when the installation demands extra reach. The USB 2.0 bandwidth ceiling remains unchanged, so high-throughput endpoints will saturate the link before the cable length becomes a factor.

Questions about this item

Should I use one 25 m cable or daisy-chain two for a 50 m run?

One cable reaches 25 m; daisy-chaining two extends the link to 50 m.

Will the 25 m length still deliver full USB 2.0 performance?

The active repeater maintains signal quality at 25 m with no loss of USB 2.0 data rates.

Does the Type A male-to-female connection need an external power adapter?

It draws power from the USB port; the included universal adapter is available if the port cannot supply enough current.
