- Supports 480 Mbps data speed for USB 2.0 devices
- Gold-plated, corrosion-resistant connectors with foil and braided shielding reduce EMI/RFI interference
- Molded strain relief and grip treads provide durable, easy connections
- Extends USB ports so peripherals connect without reaching behind equipment
Extended reach for USB 2.0 devices
This active USB 2.0 extension cable spans 16.4 feet while maintaining 480 Mbps data throughput. A built-in NXP chipset regenerates the signal to prevent attenuation over the full length. It suits VR sensor setups, security cameras, printers and other peripherals that sit far from the host computer.
Works with standard USB A ports
Both ends use USB A connectors so the cable plugs directly into existing ports on PCs, consoles or hubs. The repeater draws power from the bus, requiring no external adapter. Foil and braid shielding reduces EMI and RFI interference, while gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for reliable mating cycles.
Molded strain relief eases daily use
Reinforced collars at each connector absorb bending stress and provide grip treads for easy insertion and removal. This protects both the cable and the equipment port from wear when devices are swapped frequently. The 2.0 specification limits throughput to 480 Mbps, so bandwidth-heavy peripherals needing 3.0 speeds are not supported.

Questions about this item
How far can the active repeater extend a USB 2.0 link without signal loss?
The built-in NXP chipset boosts the signal so the cable reliably reaches 16.4 feet while maintaining full USB 2.0 speeds.
Does the booster chip draw noticeable power or generate heat during all-day use?
The active circuit is powered from the host USB port and runs cool; no external adapter is needed and heat is negligible in continuous operation.
Which port type must the computer and the peripheral each provide for this cable to work?
Both ends are USB-A, so the host and the device each need a standard USB-A socket; the cable is designed for USB 2.0 ports on both sides.
