Product Description

Tripp Lite's 16-ft. USB Certified 2.0 active extension cable is a bus powered extension cable that can be used to increase the length of a device cable without the worry of signal loss and potential performance problems. USB limits a cable's length to 16ft. any length above 16 feet requires the use of an active cable such as this one. This cable has a signal booster built in. The overall cable length can be extended up to 80ft by daisy chaining up to 5 of these active cables. The cable must be plugged directly into a USB port (either on the PC or a hub). Use a standard 6' 10' or 15' USB cable to reach the desired distance.

The Tripp Lite only works at USB 1.0 standard.......2007-04-04

I wanted to use the Tripp Lite active extenion cable to move my Linksys USB wireless adapter to a differnt location in the room. First I used a standard usb 16ft cable I had download speed of 18-54Mbytes. Then I added the Tripp Lite active extenion cable, I only got 1Mbytes/sec transfer rate, which is USB 1.0 standard and not the USB 2.0 standard

Works great, I even bought a second one. Keep in mind that this is a USB cable. It has nothing to do with firewire (as the title would lead you to believe).

Tripp Lite Extension Cables are solid performers.......2006-08-07

I bought two of these Tripp Lite U026-016 USB 2.0/FireWire 16 foot Active Extension Cables. I have had them for a month and use them with both my PC and with my Playstation 2 Force Feedback Driving Wheels. They are well designed and made with nice thick insulation on the wires and tight connectors.

I am a picky consumer and have been very happy with other Tripp Lite products. (I also own two IsoTel Ultra 8s with metal cases and frequency shielding.) So after doing some comparisons, I put these at the top of my list. Tripp Lite is a little more expensive, but I have never had any failures, problems or headaches because of them.
