Cables To Go 38988 USB 2.0 A Male to A Female Active Extension Cable 25 ft

25 ft USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable

This active extension cable extends a USB 2.0 connection up to 25 feet (7.62 meters) beyond the standard five meter limit. It uses a built-in booster chip inside the female connector to maintain signal integrity for both low and high speed devices. The Type A male to Type A female design connects directly to existing USB cables without adapters. It suits installers who need to place peripherals farther from the host than a passive cable allows.

75 ft Maximum Daisy Chain Limit

Up to three cables can be connected end to end for a total reach of 75 feet (22.8 meters) while staying within USB 2.0 electrical and timing specifications. The active circuitry buffers signals in both directions so the link remains compliant at the full extended distance. This is the practical ceiling for this cable type; longer runs would require a different transmission method such as fibre or a powered hub. Buyers who need a single continuous run beyond 75 feet cannot use this product.

Center Booster Simplifies Conduit Installations

The booster chip is housed in the female connector rather than a mid cable block, so the cable pulls through raceway or conduit without snagging on a bulky module. No driver installation is required; the cable is transparent to the operating system. The most common issue is attempting to chain more than three cables, which breaks USB 2.0 timing compliance and causes device enumeration failures. Ensure each segment is a genuine active extension, not a passive cable.
