APC by Schneider Electric NBAC0213P USB Repeater Cable

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric NBAC0213P is a 5-meter, plenum-rated USB A male-to-male repeater cable. It's designed to extend the reach of USB connections for environmental monitoring appliances, specifically within the APC NetBotz ecosystem, ensuring reliable data transmission over longer distances without signal degradation. This cable is critical for installations requiring placement of NetBotz sensors or appliances away from their primary network connection point, such as in raised access floors or above drop ceilings where plenum-rated cabling is mandated for fire safety compliance.

Compatibility

This NBAC0213P repeater cable is engineered for use with APC NetBotz appliances and sensors that utilize USB connectivity for data transfer or power. It is directly compatible with NetBotz rack-mount and standalone units that require extended USB peripheral reach. Specific compatibility extends to NetBotz models requiring a USB connection for environmental sensors or other accessories where the standard cable length is insufficient.

Installation Notes

The cable features standard USB A male connectors on both ends, requiring simple plug-and-play installation into available USB ports on compatible NetBotz devices and connected peripherals. Its plenum rating signifies that the cable jacket material is designed to meet stringent fire safety standards for use in air handling spaces (plenums) found in commercial buildings, reducing the risk of flame propagation and smoke generation. Ensure both connected devices support the USB 2.0 standard for optimal performance.
