Active extension cables allow you to travel long distances in the tethered state without worrying about signal errors or data loss. With an active USB device, incoming and outgoing signals and data transfers are buffered to ensure consistent signal quality. Signal errors and/or noise can occur when using passive cables for data transmission over 5m in length. From a length of 5m these are no longer recommended. Up to 4 active USB extensions and 1 passive 4.6m USB cable can be connected together to achieve a length of 24m without detecting any signal or quality defects. Designed to meet the USB 3.0 specifications to filter out signal noise and reduce transmission errors, all cables are fully shielded to protect against external signal interference. With an active USB device, incoming and outgoing signals and data transfers are cached to ensure consistent signal quality. the setup is simple: simply plug the Active Extension pen into your computer and then connect the USB cable of your camera or other device to the extension cable socket. For longer distances, simply add additional active extension extensions to the row to achieve the required length.check the manufacturer's specifications of your equipment to find the correct cable type and connections.specifications -length: 5 meters transmission speed: 5 Gbps port: USB 3.0 A plug compatible with: USB 3.0, USB 2.0 color: High Visibility orange.
