Product Description

Tripp Lite's 16-ft. USB Certified 2.0 active extension cable is a bus powered extension cable that can be used to increase the length of a device cable without the worry of signal loss and potential performance problems. USB limits a cable's length to 16ft. any length above 16 feet requires the use of an active cable such as this one. This cable has a signal booster built in. The overall cable length can be extended up to 80ft by daisy chaining up to 5 of these active cables. The cable must be plugged directly into a USB port (either on the PC or a hub). Use a standard 6' 10' or 15' USB cable to reach the desired distance.

Customer Reviews

Works GREAT!

I bought 2 of these and made a 32 foot connection to my device and it worked GREAT !

I needed a way to bring my computers usb 2.0 port closer to a device that cannot be moved and this baby did the job! Well worth it !

Excellent as described
Tried it with the PC, the Wii and the PS3. It works flawlessly with all devices I have connected to it. You can also put a USB hub at the end of the cable and it works well.

Quality product
You are supposed to plug this strait into the computer but this product worked even in the middle of a 50 foot chain of all kinds of USB cables(none active other than this one). I had to quickly rig something together and this cable saved me, I will be ordering more of them(mostly so I don't have to string together some many cables next time)!
