Thanks to the integrated amplifier, this active InLine® USB 2.0 cable keeps the transmission of the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 signal intact, making it possible to exceed the 5-metre length limit beyond which a normal USB cable does not guarantee the quality of the propagated signal. Ideal for connecting peripherals such as scanners, printers, external boxes and other devices with a maximum distance of 11 metres (two active cables cannot be connected in series). Plug & Play requires no external power supply and is compatible with Windows and MAC systems.
