APC by Schneider Electric NBAC0213L USB Latching Repeater Cable

Overview

The APC NetBotz NBAC0213L is a 5-meter USB A male-to-female latching repeater cable. It extends the reach for USB devices, specifically designed to maintain signal integrity over longer distances. This cable is essential for deploying environmental monitoring sensors or other USB peripherals away from the primary NetBotz appliance or server, ensuring you can place sensors in optimal locations within a data center rack or IT closet. The latching connectors provide a secure physical connection, preventing accidental disconnections that could disrupt monitoring.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with APC NetBotz appliances and sensors that utilize a USB A connection for data transfer and power. It is compatible with the APC NetBotz product line, enabling extended placement of environmental sensors such as temperature, humidity, and leak detectors. The USB A male connector interfaces with the host device (e.g., NetBotz appliance), while the USB A female connector accepts standard USB A male peripherals.

Installation Notes

The NBAC0213L features a USB A male connector on one end and a USB A female connector on the other. Both connectors are designed for a secure fit, with the female end incorporating a latching mechanism to prevent accidental unplugging. The cable's flat design may aid in routing within tight spaces, such as cable management channels in IT racks. Its 5-meter length allows for significant flexibility in sensor placement relative to the main appliance.
