The active USB 2.0 extension cable (5 meters), model USB2AAEXT5M, includes a USB A male connector and a USB A female connector, allowing the active extension of USB 2.0 devices up to 5 meters.
All-in-one cable To avoid connection limitations due to distance or power source, this active USB 2.0 extension cable incorporates bus-powered circuitry that ensures performance beyond the limits of standard USB cables. In addition, it allows the serial connection of 4 cables to achieve a total USB extension of up to 20 meters.
