USB-AA-5M
USB REPEATER CABLE
The USB-AA-5M USB Repeater Cable extends the cable length of a USB device by 5 meters. Up to 5 cables can be connected in
series to extend the cable length up to 80 feet. The USB Repeater Cable is 100% compatible with the USB Electrical Timing Specs
for USB Hub.
The USB-AA-5M USB Repeater Cable is not a passive extension cable. It is an active device. The USB signals going in and out of
the extension cable are buffered to assure signal quality and the meeting of the USB’s Electrical and Timing Specifications. Using
passive cables for the purpose of extension will result in signal errors and is not recommended.
The USB-AA-5M USB Repeater Cable allows a USB device to have its cable length extended by up to an additional 25 meters (80 ft)*,
by serially connecting 5 cables. The USB Repeater Cable acts as a transparent USB Hub and buffers all downstream and upstream
data traffic.
Both Low-Speed and High-Speed devices will function equally well with the USB-AA-5M USB Repeater Cable.
