SECOMP VALUE USB 2.0 active Verlaengerung

Product Overview

The SECOMP VALUE USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable is a high‑performance solution designed to extend the reach of standard USB 2.0 connections up to 12 meters without compromising data integrity or power delivery. By incorporating an active repeater within the cable, it actively regenerates the signal, ensuring reliable communication between devices even over longer distances.

Key Technical Specifications

• USB Standard: USB 2.0 (High‑Speed, 480 Mbps)
• Length: 12 meters (39.37 feet)
Connector Types: Male to Female (A plug to A socket)
• Active Repeater: Built‑in signal regeneration for extended reach
• Color: Black, providing a neutral aesthetic that blends seamlessly with most setups
• Construction: Durable outer jacket and reinforced internal shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI)
• Power Delivery: Supports standard USB 2.0 power levels (5 V, up to 500 mA) across the full length
• Compatibility: Works with all USB 2.0 hosts and peripherals, including keyboards, mice, printers, external hard drives, and more

Design Features & Benefits

The cable’s architecture is engineered to address common challenges associated with long‑distance USB connections:

• Signal Integrity: The active repeater amplifies the data signal, preventing degradation that typically occurs beyond 5 meters in passive cables.
• Reduced Latency: Despite its length, the cable maintains low latency thanks to efficient signal processing within the repeater.
• Power Stability: The internal circuitry ensures consistent voltage delivery, reducing the risk of peripheral power drops.
• Shielding & Crosstalk Reduction: Multi‑layer shielding protects against external interference and minimizes crosstalk between conductors.
• Flexibility & Durability: The cable’s flexible design allows for easy routing around obstacles, while the robust jacket resists abrasion and kinks.

Ideal Use Cases

This extension is perfect for a variety of scenarios where distance or layout constraints limit direct USB connections:

• Office Environments: Connecting peripheral devices located in separate rooms or on different floors.
• Home Entertainment Systems: Extending controllers, media players, or external storage to remote locations.
• Industrial Settings: Linking sensors, data loggers, or control panels that require reliable USB communication over extended distances.
• Educational Institutions: Facilitating classroom setups where devices need to be positioned away from the main computer station.

Installation & Setup Guide

1. Identify Connection Points: Locate the USB port on your host device (computer, laptop, or hub) and the peripheral that requires extension.
2. Connect the Male End: Plug the male A connector into the host’s USB port. Ensure a snug fit to avoid loose connections.
3. Route the Cable: Carefully lay the cable along the desired path, avoiding sharp bends or excessive tension that could damage internal conductors.
4. Attach the Female End: Connect the female A socket to your peripheral device. Verify that the connection is secure.
5. Power On Devices: Turn on both the host and peripheral. The active repeater will automatically engage, establishing a stable link.

Troubleshooting Tips

• No Device Detected: Verify that both ends are firmly connected. Check for any visible damage or kinks in the cable.
• Intermittent Connection: Ensure that the cable is not stretched beyond its recommended flexibility limits. Re‑route if necessary.
• Low Data Transfer Rates: Confirm that no other high‑bandwidth devices are sharing the same USB bus, which could cause contention.
• Power Issues: If a peripheral fails to power on, test with a shorter cable or a different host port to rule out power supply limitations.

Maintenance & Care Instructions

To preserve optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your extension cable:

• Avoid Sharp Bends: Keep bends gentle; a radius of at least 6 inches is recommended.
• Store Properly: When not in use, coil the cable loosely and store it in a dry environment away from direct sunlight.
• Inspect Regularly: Periodically check for signs of wear or damage, especially near connectors.
• Clean Connectors: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust from connector surfaces before plugging in.
