Description

Expandable up to 60 metres

The cable works on its own or as part of the Lindy USB 2.0 Active Extension Pro system. Several extension cables and one hub can distribute the USB signal to up to four devices at up to 60 m. The limits are 60 m and four repeaters in total, and the hub must always be the last segment.

Who this USB cable is for

Setups where a USB 2.0 device – a webcam, printer, keyboard or sensor – sits far from the computer, for example on the ceiling, across the room or on a display stand. The device's own cable can be up to 2 m long. Locking connectors and shielding help keep the signal intact in demanding environments.
