USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable 16ft

This Kootion USB 2.0 active extension cable stretches the connection to 16 feet without signal loss. It is built for users who need to place peripherals such as cameras, card readers, keyboards or printers farther from the host computer. The integrated repeater draws power from the USB bus so no separate adapter is required. It suits home-office, VR or gaming setups that exceed the standard five-metre limit.

Check port type and device power needs

Verify that your device uses a standard USB 2.0 Type-A port before ordering. The cable carries the 5 V bus power from the host, so the source port must supply enough current for the attached peripheral. Bus-powered hard drives or the Xbox 360 Kinect may need a high-current port or a powered hub to operate reliably at this length. Confirm the peripheral works on a short cable first to rule out device faults.

20/28 AWG construction with bus-powered repeater

The cable uses 20 AWG conductors for power and 28 AWG for data, giving a sturdy feel while staying flexible for routing. The moulded strain relief at each connector resists damage from repeated insertion. Because the repeater is embedded in the cable, there is no external power brick to hide or mount. The black jacket blends into typical desk or entertainment-centre environments.

Questions about this item

Does the 16ft cable include everything needed to extend a USB 2.0 device, or must I buy a separate power adapter?

The 16ft active extension cable draws power from the USB 5 V bus, so no external power adapter is required. It has a male plug on one end and a female port on the other, ready to connect your device directly.

Should I choose the 20 AWG or 28 AWG version for a 16ft run to an Xbox 360 Kinect?

This single cable uses 20 AWG for power conductors and 28 AWG for data conductors, a combination built to meet USB 2.0 requirements at the full 16ft length for devices such as the Xbox 360 Kinect.

Will the active repeater maintain USB 2.0 signal quality at the full 16ft length when connected to an Oculus VR headset?

Yes. The built‑in repeater regenerates the USB 2.0 signal so it remains reliable at 16ft, which is the standard maximum reach for USB 2.0, and the cable is listed as compatible with Oculus VR devices.
