USB 2.0 Active Extension with Hub
This 17 ft active repeater cable extends USB 2.0 connections while integrating a 2-port USB Type-A female hub. The built-in ASIC chip buffers signals to maintain data integrity over the full length. It is suited for positioning peripherals such as smart boards, cameras, or network adapters far from the host computer. Gold-plated connectors resist corrosion for reliable contact.
Check Ports and Power Before Buying
Verify your device uses a USB Type-A male plug and operates within USB 2.0 low-speed or high-speed limits. The cable requires the included 5V/2A power adapter to drive the active repeater and supply up to 500 mA at the far end. Ensure a mains outlet is available near the hub location. This cable does not support USB 3.0 or higher signalling rates.
Shielded Cable with Gold Connectors
The assembly uses highly shielded 28/22 AWG cable rated to 80 °C and 30 V, meeting UL and FCC certification. Gold-plated Type-A terminals reduce oxidation during repeated mating cycles. The active electronics are housed in the hub body, so the cable routes like a standard cord while the hub sits at the device end. This layout keeps connectors accessible for daily plugging and unplugging.
