The Black Box USBR01-0016-R4 is a 16-foot (4.8-meter) USB 2.0 active repeater cable. It solves the common problem of USB signal degradation over longer distances, ensuring reliable data transfer for peripherals connected to computers or servers. This cable is ideal for extending the reach of USB devices like keyboards, mice, webcams, or data acquisition equipment in environments where standard cables fall short, such as extending a USB device from a rack-mounted server to a nearby workstation.
This active repeater cable supports the USB 2.0 standard, providing backward compatibility with USB 1.1 devices. It connects a Type-A male plug to a Type-A female receptacle, allowing you to connect any standard USB Type-A peripheral or another USB extension cable. It is compatible with any operating system that supports USB 2.0, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. For optimal performance, ensure the connected device and the host port both support USB 2.0 speeds.
The active repeater incorporates circuitry that regenerates the USB signal, compensating for signal loss. No external power adapter is required, as the cable draws power from the USB bus. For maximum reliability and to maintain USB 2.0 speeds, avoid chaining more than two active repeater cables together. Ensure secure connections at both the host and peripheral ends to prevent intermittent data loss.
