50 ft Active USB 2.0 Cable

The StarTech USB2HAB50AC is a 50-foot active USB 2.0 Type A male to Type B male cable designed to connect USB 2.0 peripherals such as printers well beyond the standard distance limit. Bus-powered circuitry maintains consistent data speeds across the full length without requiring an external power adapter. It suits offices, warehouses or home workstations where the host computer cannot sit near the device.

Thermals Noise Power

The cable draws power directly from the host USB port to run its internal signal-boosting electronics, adding only a minimal load that stays within normal USB 2.0 current limits. Passive conductors and foil-plus-braid shielding produce no audible noise and generate no noticeable heat during typical printing or data-transfer sessions. The PVC jacket and straight connectors keep the assembly flexible for routing around desks or through cable trays.

Shielding and Compatibility

Nickel-plated connectors and aluminum-Mylar foil with braid shielding block electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference that can corrupt long-run USB signals. The 24 AWG conductors support the full USB 2.0 bandwidth for compatible printers including Canon Pixma MX922 MX522 MX452 Epson XP310 XP410 Brother HL2270DW MFCJ450DW and HP Envy 4500 models. Builders needing longer runs or USB 3.x speeds cannot use this cable.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 50 ft active USB 2.0 A to B cable and what step is often missed?

Plug the Type A male connector into the host computer and the Type B male connector into the peripheral; the step often missed is ensuring both straight connectors are fully seated so the bus-powered active circuitry engages.

What maintenance or replacement will the 50 ft active USB 2.0 cable need over time?

Inspect the PVC jacket and nickel-plated connectors periodically for wear or corrosion; replace the cable if the aluminum-mylar foil and braid shielding is damaged or if signal errors appear.

What limit appears first when the 50 ft active USB 2.0 cable runs under sustained use?

The 50 ft length is the maximum distance the bus-powered active circuitry supports without signal loss; exceeding it or drawing more bus power than the host port allows will cause errors first.
