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.

Go by Reviews, Not Price.......2007-12-12
Any USB extension over 15 feet requires an active cable. This one works just fine. I am connecting a VGA webcam to use as a security monitor and it needed to be a ways from the PC. I have not yet tried chaining a couple together.
I had earlier bought another brand that cost more but didn't work. Junk. So my advice is to buy the ones that have the most consistently good reviews.
Quality product.......2007-09-16
I am using this to extend the usb printer connection to my computer, after trying unsuccessfully with a lower cost active extension cable that I purchased elsewhere. The generic cable I tried first had near constant communication errors, making it essentially unusable. After several weeks of use, I have had no problems or error messages with the Tripp Lite cable. It seems well made. I should have purchased a quality product first.
Rugged Performer.......2007-08-10
This is a very well-made and rugged USB extender used by me to extend USB 2.0 across the room to a scanning table. I had attempted to use an older USB 1.1 extender and, as expected, performance of the scanner dropped considerably. While waiting for the Tripp-Lite to arrive - it came to me quickly - I used passive cables to extend the full 16 feet. The scanner performance was fast but I was concerned about errors because it was far longer than what's permitted by USB. I got lucky.
The Tripp-Lite performs flawlessly and it's USB 2.0 performance was immediately apparent with scan times approaching those of the scanner connected locally. The cable used in this product is larger and heavier than most USB cables. My particular scanner is not port-powered so I don't know much about the DC performance of the Tripp-Lite. I would definitely buy it again because it works and is well made.
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 fine, but title is wrong.......2006-10-09
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).
Product Description
One of the biggest obstacles encountered in planning a wire run is the signal limitation of USB devices. With a maximum guaranteed length of 16 feet, very few USB runs are successful without the use of ACTIVE extension cables. These are M/F extension cables, which feature a booster-box on the end, and when strung together, can achieve a new maximum of 80 feet. Easily extend your USB 2.0 cable past 5 Meters by daisy chaining up to five of premium USB 2.0 active extensions. These USB 2.0 compliant cables support data transfer rates up to 480Mbps and are fully backward compatible with both low and high-speed USB v1.1 devices.

Customer Reviews:
Cheap cable but poor service and not willing to take a return........2007-01-04
I thought I was getting a good deal by buying this cable from Sabrent. When I took it out the box my video capture wasn't working and suspected the cable. I verified the cable by buying another from Fry's. When I asked to return the cable to manufacturer all they could suggest was that I try another computer. That was the last cable that I'm buying from them. Very poor customer service and not willing to return the cable.
Great product.......2006-11-10
Long cable at a cheap price. I can put my webcam anywhere now.

Inconsistent cheap product.......2007-12-07
I bought 4 of these from a different online store. They are made in China and two of them did not work. There are many of them at different online stores and even on Amazon with slightly different pictures. Look at the color of the cable and the end connectors to compare. Not sure if they are actually USB 2.0 or not. Stay away from them if you can. Spend the extra $10 to get a better and more consistent brand.

Doesn't seem to be USB 2.0.......2007-07-27
According to my Toshiba laptop running Windows Vista the cable is a USB 1.1 hub and not the USB 2.0 that the factory packaging claims.
