LINDY 8m USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable Pro
The LINDY 8m USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable Pro is a high‑performance, long‑distance USB extension designed to deliver reliable data transfer and power delivery across an extended reach of up to eight metres. Its active design incorporates signal regeneration circuitry that maintains signal integrity over distances where passive cables would normally suffer degradation.
Key Technical Specifications
- Length: 8 m (26.25 ft)
- Cable Type: Round, flexible construction for easy routing and minimal bulk.
- Connector Configuration: USB‑A male on one end, USB‑A female on the other.
- Data Transfer Rate: Up to 480 Mbit/s (USB 2.0 Full Speed).
- Power Delivery: Supports standard USB 2.0 power levels (5 V, up to 500 mA) on the female port.
- Active Signal Regeneration: Built‑in repeater boosts signal strength, eliminating latency and jitter typical of long passive cables.
- Certifications: CE, UKCA, FCC, RoHS, REACH, California Proposition 65 – ensuring compliance with global safety and environmental standards.
- Colour: Black (Nero) for a professional, unobtrusive appearance.
Design Features & Build Quality
The cable’s round profile is engineered to resist tangling and reduce strain on the connectors during installation. The outer jacket is made from durable, flexible material that withstands repeated bending without cracking or fraying. Both male and female USB‑A connectors are reinforced with a robust metal shell, providing secure mating and preventing accidental disconnection.
Because it is an active extension, the cable includes an internal signal amplifier located near the female end. This repeater restores voltage levels and cleans up data signals, ensuring that devices such as external hard drives, printers, or USB hubs receive a clean, high‑quality connection even at the maximum 8 m length.
Compatibility & Operating Systems
The LINDY 8m USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable Pro is fully compatible with a wide range of operating systems:
- Windows ME, 2000, XP, Vista
- Mac OS (various versions)
- Linux distributions (including OSLinux)
Its universal USB‑A connectors mean it can be used with virtually any device that accepts a standard USB connection, from external storage to peripherals and networking equipment.
Ideal Use Cases
- Office Environments: Extend USB connections between workstations and peripheral devices such as printers or scanners located on different desks or rooms.
- Home Entertainment Systems: Connect external hard drives, media players, or gaming consoles to a central hub without the need for additional power outlets.
- Industrial & Embedded Applications: Provide reliable data links in machinery where cable routing is constrained and signal integrity is critical.
- Educational Settings: Facilitate classroom setups where devices must be positioned away from computer stations, yet remain connected via USB.
Installation & Setup
Installing the cable is straightforward:
- Connect the male USB‑A end to the source device (e.g., computer, hub).
- Run the cable along the desired path, ensuring it does not encounter sharp bends or excessive tension.
- Attach the female USB‑A end to the target device (e.g., external drive, peripheral). The active repeater will automatically engage and maintain signal quality.
No additional drivers or software are required; the cable operates transparently with any standard USB 2.0 host controller.
Performance Highlights
- Consistent Data Rates: Maintains full 480 Mbit/s throughput across the entire 8 m length, eliminating the drop‑off common in passive cables.
- Low Latency: Signal regeneration introduces negligible delay, ensuring real‑time applications remain responsive.
- Robust Power Delivery: Provides stable 5 V power to connected devices, reducing the need for separate power adapters in many scenarios.
Environmental & Safety Compliance
The cable’s compliance with CE, UKCA, FCC, RoHS, REACH, and California Proposition 65 demonstrates a commitment to:
- Eliminating hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium.
- Ensuring electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for safe operation in mixed‑device environments.
- Meeting stringent safety standards for electrical performance and fire resistance.
Packaging & Availability
The product is supplied in a standard box, ready for immediate deployment. Its new condition guarantees that users receive a cable free from manufacturing defects or wear.
