Active USB 2.0 extension

This bus-powered repeater cable extends a USB Type-A connection beyond the standard five-metre limit. It uses built-in electronics to boost the signal so data integrity is preserved over longer runs. The cable is compatible with USB 2.0 high-speed operation at 480 Mbps and remains backwards compatible with USB 1.0 and 1.1 devices. No external power supply or driver installation is required.

Suited for cameras and sensors

The extender works with webcams, printers, keyboards, mice and similar peripherals that draw standard bus power. It is also compatible with the Xbox Kinect and PlayStation 3 Move when those devices use a standard USB connector. Builders who need to extend a proprietary Kinect connector or who require a powered hub for high-draw devices should look at a different solution.

28/24 AWG conductor gauge

The cable employs 28 AWG data lines paired with 24 AWG power conductors to balance flexibility and voltage delivery. This wire specification supports the active repeater circuitry while keeping the cable pliable for routing. Buyers who need a different gauge or a passive cable without signal conditioning will not be served by this model.
