Tripp Lite's SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Active A-B cable overcomes the 5-meter USB distance limitation with an active repeater in the middle of the cable. Now USB printers and other devices can be located up to 36ft away from the computer in a single, non-daisychainable run, with no need for extension cables. Full 5Gbps speed is maintained along the entire length of the cable. Backward compatible to USB 1.1 and 2.0. Plug-and-play, Windows and MAC compatible.
