Tether Tools TetherPro 16 ft USB 2.0 active extension cable orange

SKU CH-FA98-THQ1B

Active USB 2.0 extension cable reaches 16 ft and daisy-chains up to 80 ft total without signal loss

  • Active buffering prevents signal loss over long runs
  • 16 ft length extends tethering distance reliably
  • Daisy-chain up to four cables for 80 ft reach
  • High-visibility orange colour aids studio safety
  • Simple plug-and-play setup with repeater near device

Extended tethering reach

The TetherPro active extension cable adds 16 ft of USB 2.0 length for photographers and studio technicians who need to position cameras or peripherals farther from the computer. Its built-in repeater buffers the signal so data integrity is maintained across the full distance. The high-visibility orange jacket makes the cable easy to spot on a busy set.

Signal quality and power

Active circuitry regenerates the USB 2.0 signal, preventing the timing errors and noise that passive cables introduce beyond 16 ft. The design meets the electrical and timing requirements of the USB 2.0 specification without drawing attention to its own power consumption. Normal operation stays within standard bus-power limits for the connected device.

Daisy-chain flexibility

Up to four active extensions can be linked together with one passive 15 ft cable to reach 80 ft total while preserving full USB 2.0 throughput. The repeater module should sit closest to the camera or device for best results. No additional drivers or software are required for any supported operating system.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 16 ft active USB 2.0 extension and where must the repeater sit?

Plug the male end into the computer and the device into the female end; keep the repeater closest to the device, not the computer, for reliable signal buffering.

What passive cable can I add later and how long may the total chain reach?

One passive 15 ft USB cable can be daisy-chained with up to four active extensions for a combined 80 ft reach without signal loss.

What is the maximum reliable length before signal degradation appears under continuous use?

The active design maintains full USB 2.0 electrical and timing specs at 16 ft (4.87 m), while passive cables typically fail beyond that distance.
