USB 2.0 active extension up to 41 ft

This active USB 2.0 extension cable adds 25 ft to the standard 16 ft reach of passive cables, letting a device sit up to 41 ft from the host. The built-in booster maintains full 480 Mbps data rates and supplies up to 150 mA of bus power without signal loss. It is suited for printers, scanners and other peripherals that must be placed farther from the computer. Molded connectors and strain relief improve durability in permanent installs.

Shielded cable limits at 480 Mbps

Premium foil and braid shielding protects the link from EMI and RF interference across the 7.6 m run. The USB 2.0 interface caps throughput at 480 Mbps, so bulk transfers will not exceed that rate regardless of host capability. Only 150 mA is available for the attached device, so bus-powered hard drives or high-current accessories may need their own supply. The cable is backward compatible with USB 1.1 ports at reduced speed.

Replaces passive cables beyond 16 ft

Standard passive USB cables cannot reliably exceed 16 ft, making this active version the practical step up when the device must sit farther away. The upgrade is worth it whenever the path length is between 16 ft and 41 ft and the peripheral draws no more than 150 mA. It does not help if the total distance stays under 16 ft or if the device needs more bus current than the booster provides.
