When do you need an active USB extension cable?
An active USB extension cable is used when you want to connect USB devices at a greater distance from your computer than a standard cable allows. This 5-metre DIGITUS cable is ideal for situations where you want to place a printer, external hard drive or webcam further from your workspace, for example. Its active design boosts the signal, keeping the connection stable over longer distances.

Why choose this 5-metre version?
With a length of 5 metres, this cable offers sufficient reach for most office and home-office workstations without unnecessary excess cable. You can place devices on the other side of your desk, on a separate table or even in a different corner of the room, for instance. The cable is suitable for all USB 2.0 devices that have their own power supply.

Reliable data transmission up to 480 Mbit/sec
This extension cable supports the full USB 2.0 speed of 480 Mbit per second, so you won't experience any loss in performance. This means you can transfer files quickly and devices such as printers or scanners continue to work at normal speed. The active amplification in the cable ensures this speed is maintained over the full 5-metre length.

Expansion options and compatibility
A handy feature is that you can link multiple cables together for a maximum total length of 20 metres, should you need even more reach. The cable works with all common operating systems from Windows 2000 and Mac OS 10.X onwards, so compatibility issues are not a concern. Do note that connected devices must have their own power supply, as the cable itself does not supply power to external devices.
