Product Description
A 10m USB 2.0 active extension cable, A male to A female, built to carry a USB connection well beyond the standard cable-length limit without signal loss. Active repeater technology inside the cable regenerates the signal over the full 10m run, which is what separates it from a passive extension lead.
On CCTV and security jobs, this cable is typically used to run a USB webcam, capture device, or USB-connected peripheral from a workstation out to a more distant mounting point — useful in offices, retail back-rooms, or reception desks where the PC or NVR sits some way from the camera or accessory. It's plug-and-play, needs no drivers, and works with both USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 equipment.

Selection notes for installers
- Confirm the connected device is a standard USB-A peripheral — this cable does not convert or split signals, it only extends reach.
- For runs longer than 10m, or where several extensions are needed, check whether the device's power draw suits a single active cable or whether a powered hub is more appropriate.
- Route and secure the cable to avoid strain on the connectors, particularly where it crosses walkways or door frames on site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this cable need external power to work over 10m?
It uses active repeater technology built into the cable itself, so it extends the USB signal over the full 10m run without a separate power supply.
Will this work with USB 1.1 devices as well as USB 2.0?
Yes, it works with both USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices.
Can I join two of these cables for a longer run?
The source specification covers a single 10m active cable; for longer distances, check your device's power and signal requirements before daisy-chaining, as this isn't confirmed to be supported.
Does it need drivers to install?
No — it's plug-and-play and requires no additional drivers or software.
