The Eaton Tripplite U026-10M is a 10-meter (33-foot) USB 2.0 Hi-Speed active extension repeater cable. This cable is designed for IT professionals and businesses needing to extend the reach of USB 2.0 devices beyond the standard 5-meter passive cable limit. It functions as an active repeater, ensuring signal integrity over longer distances without significant degradation, which is common with passive extensions. This product addresses the challenge of connecting USB peripherals, such as printers, scanners, or external storage, to a host computer when the devices are located further apart. It is suitable for office environments, conference rooms, or industrial settings where device placement flexibility is required. The cable features a male A connector on one end and a female A connector on the other, facilitating a straightforward plug-and-play extension.
This USB extension cable has a maximum length of 10 meters, which is approximately 33 feet. It is designed to extend USB 2.0 connections over this distance.
The cable features a USB 2.0 Type-A male connector on one end and a USB 2.0 Type-A female connector on the other. This configuration allows for the extension of an existing USB cable.
The cable is specified as a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed active extension repeater cable. While USB 2.0 is generally backward compatible with USB 1.1, and often forward compatible with USB 3.0 at USB 2.0 speeds, its primary design and performance are optimized for USB 2.0 standards.
An 'active extension repeater' means the cable includes built-in electronics to regenerate the USB signal. This is crucial for maintaining signal quality and data integrity over longer distances, preventing the signal degradation that can occur with passive cables beyond typical length limits.
