25 ft USB 2.0 Active Cable

This active USB 2.0 cable extends a Type A to Type B connection up to 25 feet. A built-in repeater preserves high-speed signal quality over the full length. It delivers up to 150 mA of bus power to the attached device. The cable is suited for positioning printers or other peripherals away from the host computer.

Who this suits and who it does not

It works well for users who need a single long link to a USB 2.0 printer, scanner or similar device. It is not for setups that require more than 150 mA of bus power unless the peripheral has its own supply or a powered hub is added. It also does not serve applications needing USB 3.0 or higher throughput.

Key specification that decides fit

The integrated repeater enables the 25 ft reach while maintaining USB 2.0 high-speed operation. Without this active circuitry a standard passive cable would not meet the signal-quality requirement at this length.

Questions about this item

Is the 25 ft length the only option for this active A-to-B cable?

The U042-025 is offered as a 25 ft active cable; other lengths would carry different model numbers.

What does the built-in repeater do for the 2.0 signal over 25 ft?

The integrated repeater regenerates the high-speed USB 2.0 signal so it remains reliable at the full 25 ft distance.

How does the Type A plug limit power delivery to the device?

The cable supplies up to 150 mA from the host port; devices needing more current require their own power supply or a powered hub.
