Product Description
The USB Extension Cable Male to Female, 10m Active USB 2.0 (SKU USB-EXTENDER-CABLE-10M) moves a USB device up to 10 metres away from the port it plugs into. It is black, with a USB A male plug at one end and a USB A female socket at the other.
What "active" means here
The cable uses repeater technology. A repeater re-boosts the signal along the run, which is why a 10m length is practical for USB 2.0. A plain passive lead of this length would be a poorer match for the job.
