One of the biggest obstacles encountered in planning a wire run is the signal limitation of USB devices. Using passive cables for the purpose of extension will result in signal errors and is not recommended. Passive USB cables have a maximum guaranteed length of 16 feet; ACTIVE extension cables are required to extend beyond 16 feet, while retaining almost all signal strength.

These M/F extension cables feature a booster-box on the end, and when strung together, can achieve a new maximum of 80 feet. Extend your USB 2.0 cable past 5 meters by daisy chaining up to five of our premium USB 2.0 active extensions. These USB 2.0 compliant cables support data transfer rates up to 480Mbps and are fully backward compatible with both low and high-speed USB v1.1 devices. The USB extension cable acts as a USB hub and buffers all downstream and upstream data traffic. High speed, full-speed and low-speed devices will function equally well with the USB extension cable.
