InLine USB 2.0 Active Signal Repeater Cable Type A male / A female, 5m

The InLine USB 2.0 Active Signal Repeater Cable InLine 34605I 5m extends USB connections by actively amplifying the USB 2.0 signal between a USB A male and USB A female connector. The 5 m black cable supports USB 2.0 data rates up to 0.48 Gbit/s and features gold-plated contacts to maintain good conductivity over extended length. No external power supply or device drivers are required for operation.

Advantages

The active repeater amplifies and restores the USB 2.0 signal to compensate for loss over longer cable runs, enabling reliable communication without separate power. Gold-plated contacts improve contact quality and corrosion resistance, and the inline design keeps the extension compact and easy to install. Compatible with standard USB 2.0 ports and devices; data transfer speed is limited to the USB 2.0 maximum of 0.48 Gbit/s.

Suitable for

• Extending USB peripherals such as keyboards, mice and printers
• Connecting external storage or USB hubs at greater distances
• Situations where an additional powered hub is not available

How to use

Plug the USB A male connector of the repeater cable into the host device or computer USB port and connect the USB A female end to the downstream USB peripheral or cable. The active repeater will amplify the signal automatically; no driver installation is required on Windows. Maximum achievable extension and device operation depend on the power draw of the connected USB device — some high-power devices may require a powered hub or direct connection.

Recommendations

For best results, use the repeater cable with USB 2.0-compatible devices and avoid chaining multiple passive extensions. If connecting a bus-powered device that requires significant current (such as some external hard drives), verify device operation; if unstable, use a self-powered USB hub or a device with its own power supply.
