StarTech.com Active USB Type-A Extension Cable - M/F

The StarTech.com Active USB Type-A Extension Cable family offers male-to-female active extension solutions for USB peripherals, available in multiple lengths and USB generations (USB 2.0 and USB 3.0). Each cable uses bus-powered active circuitry to maintain signal integrity beyond standard cable length limits and includes a universal AC power adapter to power devices when needed. The cables are constructed with shielding and a PVC jacket, nickel-plated connectors (and copper conductors in some models) for reliable, error-free connections; select models include a blue LED status indicator. These extensions are plug-and-play, provide support for the applicable USB transfer rates (USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps and USB 3.0 up to 5 Gbps in the respective models), and can be daisy-chained with additional extension cables to extend reach. Ideal for extending USB devices between computers and peripherals where additional distance or external power is required, the product family ships as single-unit packaged cables and carries a 2-year warranty.
