The active Hi-Speed USB 2.0 extension with 4x USB-A hub is an essential accessory for PC and Mac users to distribute USB peripherals such as hard drives, printers, mice, and keyboards behind the desk or across the room. The integrated amplifier chipset in the active USB cable is powered via USB to ensure Hi-Speed USB 2.0 performance over longer distances than a standard USB extension cable. The combination of gold-plated connectors, bare copper conductors, and foil and braid shielding provides superior cable performance and error-free data transmission.

The active USB 2.0 cable with USB-A connector to 4x USB-A hub allows for USB 2.0 devices to be extended by up to 60 meters, with true USB 2.0 High Speed performance of up to 480 Mbit/s. When extending with multiple USB 2.0 active cables, the first device must always be the 6.00 m long USB 2.0 active cable. After connecting the first cable, it is possible to extend up to four additional cables to achieve a maximum distance of 60 meters. The last part of the extension can be any cable length. If more than one USB port needs to be extended or if the USB device requires more than 100 mA to operate, the 12 m hub units must be used as the last part of the extension. USB devices connected to the last part of the extension can be used with a passive USB cable, which must not exceed 3 m in length.
