USB 2.0 active extension for longer runs

This 16-foot active repeater cable extends a USB 2.0 connection beyond standard passive limits. It regenerates the Hi-Speed signal so data integrity is maintained at full 480 Mbps. The male Type-A to female Type-A design plugs directly into a host port and accepts any standard USB cable. It is suited for peripherals that must sit farther from the computer than a typical cable allows.

Bus-powered signal booster in a daisy chain

The cable draws power from the USB bus itself, so no external adapter is required. It provides up to 90 mA to the attached device while boosting the signal for reliable communication. Multiple units can be daisy-chained to reach a total span of up to 80 feet in most installations. Standard USB cables connect between repeaters, keeping the setup simple and using parts already on hand.

Low draw with wide OS support

Power consumption stays within the 90 mA budget supplied by the host port, adding minimal load to the system. Plug-and-play operation works across major operating systems without driver installation. The active circuitry maintains backward compatibility with USB 1.1 devices while preserving full 2.0 throughput. No fan or moving parts means silent operation in any environment.
