Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the USB Extension Cable. This cable is an
active USB extension cable. USB signals going in and out of the extension cable are
buffered to assure signal quality and meet of the USB’s electrical and timing
specification.

not recommended.
It allows an USB device to have its cable length extended up to additiona l 40 or 80
feet by serially connecting 8 or 16 feet cables. This USB Extension Cable acts as a
transparent USB hub and buffers all downstream and upstream data traffic. Both
low-speed and high-speed USB devices will function equally well with the USB
Extension Cable.
