TeKit USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable A Male to A Female 15m Black

USB 2.0 active extension for remote peripherals

This 15 m active repeater cable extends a USB 2.0 link between a computer and standard peripherals such as printers, keyboards, mice or storage devices. The built-in boost chipset regenerates the signal so the connection remains reliable at distances far beyond the normal passive limit. Gold-plated Type-A male and female connectors resist corrosion and are rated for more than 10000 insertion cycles. No drivers are required on Windows, Mac OS, Linux or Chrome OS.

Shielded copper conductors with dual-status LEDs

Premium shielding and copper conductors protect the data path from EMI and RFI interference during normal operation. A red LED indicates power presence while a green LED shows an active data link, giving immediate visual confirmation that the extended link is healthy. The cable draws bus power for the repeater circuitry, and an integrated DC jack allows optional external power for downstream devices that need more current than the host port can supply.

Consistent throughput over the full 15 m run

Because the active chipset re-clocks the signal, the cable maintains USB 2.0 signalling quality across the entire 49.2 ft length without the drop-outs or speed negotiation failures common with long passive cables. The repeater does not increase the 2.0 bandwidth ceiling, so high-throughput devices such as USB 3.0 storage or video capture will fall back to 2.0 speeds. Builders who need longer runs at higher signalling rates should consider fibre-optic or active USB 3.0 solutions instead.
