16ft USB 2.0 active extension

This active extension cable adds 16ft of reach to any USB 2.0 device without signal loss. It uses a built-in GL chip to buffer data and meet USB 2.0 electrical specifications. The cable is compatible with Windows 11, 10, 8, 7 and Vista. No drivers or external power are required for operation.

Capacity and headroom

The cable supports data rates up to 480Mbps across its full length. Up to five segments can be chained together for a maximum extension of 80ft while maintaining high-speed performance. It handles USB hard drives, webcams, hubs, printers and interactive whiteboards. Very long runs beyond 80ft or applications needing USB 3.0 speeds are not supported.

Build and connectors

The black cable features standard USB 2.0 connectors for simple plug-and-play installation. Its active electronics are powered entirely from the host port, so no separate adapter is needed. The design acts as a transparent hub, allowing daisy-chaining without software setup. It is not suited for devices that demand more bus power than the host can supply.

Questions about this item

Will this 16 ft active extension cable work with my older USB 2.0 printer and hub without slowing them down?

Yes, the cable is USB 2.0 specification compliant and maintains data rates up to 480 Mbps, so older printers, hubs and other USB 2.0 devices operate at their normal speed.

How can I confirm the cable is buffering the signal correctly after I plug it in?

The cable uses true plug-and-play with no drivers required; if your device is recognised by Windows 7 through 11 and transfers data at up to 480 Mbps, the active buffering is working as intended.

Does the package include any power adapter, or do I need to buy one separately to reach the full 16 ft?

No external power adapter is included or required; the cable draws power from the USB bus itself, so nothing extra must be purchased for a single 16 ft segment.
