16.4ft (5m) USB 2.0 A Male to A Female Active Extension Cable
16.4 ft (5 m) USB 2.0 active extension cable supporting 480 MBPS bidirectional data transfer
The CG39978 is a 16.4 ft (5 m) USB 2.0 A Male to A Female active extension cable designed to overcome the distance limitations of standard USB connections. By utilizing an integrated active chip within the female connector, this cable actively buffers incoming and outgoing signals. This buffering ensures the connection remains compliant with USB 2.0 electrical and timing specifications, even at longer reaches. The signal transmission is bidirectional, allowing for reliable data transfer at rates of up to 480 MBPS. Because the active component is built into the connector, this cable is suitable for installation within conduit or raceway systems. For long-range deployments, you can connect up to three of these active extension cables end-to-end to achieve a total extension of up to 118 ft (36 m). This cable is compatible with both low-speed and high-speed USB devices and draws 100mA from the host computer's USB port.
