Description

A slim connector with the repeater inside

Many active USB cables carry the repeater in a large plastic housing that does not fit into tight spaces. On the 42817 the active electronics are built into a regular USB-A connector. The cable is Plug and Play, needs no drivers and works with any computer that has a USB-A port. Speed over the full length is USB 2.0, up to 480 Mbit/s, and operating temperature is 0–70 °C.

Who this USB cable is for

Anyone whose printer, webcam, keyboard or other USB-A device sits further from the computer than a normal cable reaches. Up to five cables can be chained, so instead of 5 m the line can reach 25 metres when needed.
