Product Description
The specification for USB states that the maximum length of a USB cable is 5 meters (16 feet). As a result, you cannot extend the distance of your USB device more than 16 feet without using a USB "active" extension cable (also known as a USB repeater cable). This cable contains active electronics that will boost the USB signal for maximum reliability and performance over extended distances. Four of these USB Active Extension cables can be linked together to extend your USB peripheral up to 80 feet.
Features and Benefits: • Extends up to 80 feet; 16 feet by serial connection • Compliant with Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 1.1 • An active device; USB signals going in and out of the extension cable are buffered to assure signal quality • Acts as a transparent USB hub and buffers all downstream and upstream data traffic • Functions equally well with both low-speed and high-speed devices
