Tripp Lite's high-speed USB 2.0 active A-B cable overcomes the 5-meter USB distance limitation with an active repeater in the middle of the cable. Now USB printers and other devices can be located up to 25ft away from the computer in a single, non-daisychainable run, with no need for extension cables. Full 480Mbps speed is maintained along the entire length of the cable. Backward compatible to USB 1.1. Plug-and-play, Windows and MAC compatible. The U042-025 provides up to 150mA of power to the connected device. If device requires more than 150mA of power, it will either need to have its own power supply or, to be plugged into a powered USB 2.0 hub (such as U222-007-R) that is connected to the U042-025.
