kenable USB 2.0 Active Repeater Extension Cable A Male to A Female Lead 10m Black

• ACTIVE SIGNAL BOOSTING - Built-in repeater chip amplifies USB signals to maintain data integrity over extended distances up to 10 metres, eliminating signal degradation and connection dropouts
• DAISY CHAIN CAPABILITY - Connect multiple active extension cables in series to reach distances up to 30 metres whilst preserving full USB 2.0 Hi-Speed performance at 480 Mbps
• HUB-STYLE BUFFERING - Functions like a USB hub by buffering upstream and downstream data traffic, minimising signal delay and ensuring stable connections for all attached devices
• UNIVERSAL COMPATIBILITY - Works with all USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices including printers, scanners, keyboards, mice, external hard drives, webcams and other computer peripherals
• STANDARD A CONNECTORS - USB Type-A male plug to USB Type-A female socket configuration in black, ideal for extending existing USB cables beyond the standard 5 metre limitation

Standard USB 2.0 cables face a fundamental limitation: signal quality degrades beyond 5 metres, causing unreliable connections and data transfer failures. This kenable active repeater extension cable solves that problem with intelligent signal amplification technology. Unlike passive extension cables that simply stretch the connection, this 10 metre active cable contains a built-in repeater chip that regenerates the USB signal. This ensures your devices maintain rock-solid connections and full Hi-Speed USB 2.0 transfer rates of 480 Mbps, even over extended distances. The active circuitry works similarly to a USB hub, buffering data traffic in both directions to prevent timing issues and packet loss. This makes it perfect for situations where you need to position USB devices far from your computer, such as printers in different rooms, security cameras, or workshop equipment. Need to go even further? Simply daisy chain multiple active extension cables together to reach distances up to 30 metres whilst maintaining signal quality. Each cable actively boosts the signal before passing it along, ensuring reliable performance across the entire length. The cable features standard USB Type-A connectors: a male plug on one end connects to your computer or existing USB cable, whilst the female socket on the other end accepts your device's USB cable. The 10 metre length provides substantial reach for most home and office applications. Compatible with all USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, this active extension cable works with keyboards, mice, printers, scanners, external storage drives, webcams, and any other USB peripherals. No drivers or external power required for most devices, though high-power devices may need a powered USB hub. Backed by kenable's reputation for quality connectivity solutions since 2002.
