What this cable does

The Tripp Lite U026-025 is a USB 2.0 active extension cable with a USB-A male connector on one end and a USB-A female port on the other. It extends a USB connection up to 25 ft (7.6 m) without the signal loss that occurs on passive cables at that length. It is suited for connecting printers, scanners or other USB 2.0 peripherals that sit farther from the host than a standard cable allows.

Check your setup before ordering

Verify that the host port and the peripheral both use USB-A connectors and operate at USB 2.0 speeds. The cable draws power from the host USB port to run its internal repeater, so the host must supply standard USB bus power. Ensure the 25 ft route is free from tight bends or pinch points that could damage the cable jacket. This cable does not add extra downstream ports.

Thermals noise and power

The active electronics are powered entirely from the USB bus and consume only the current allowed by the USB 2.0 specification. No fan or external power adapter is used, so the cable runs silently and adds negligible heat to the system. In normal use the cable remains at ambient temperature and produces no audible noise.

Questions about this item

What connectors are on the Tripp Lite U026-025 and do I need any extra parts?

The cable has a USB Standard Type A Male connector on one end and a USB Standard Type A Female connector on the other; no additional parts are required for standard USB-A extension.

Should I pick the 25 ft or 7.6 m version of the U026-025?

They are the same cable — 25 ft equals 7.6 m — so choose whichever unit matches your site plan.

How does the active design affect the U026-025 at 25 ft in a real setup?

The built-in active circuitry maintains the USB 2.0 signal over the full 25 ft length, letting you place a peripheral farther from the host than a passive cable allows.
