Usb 2 A M To A F Ext/Rept Cable 65Ft

Due to its design, USB cable has a normal maximum length of about 5 meters (16.4 feet), but you can get longer distances by using an active USB extension cable from Monoprice! This is a bus-powered extension cable that can be used to increase the length of a device without any signal loss or potential performance problems. It contains active electronics, which boost the USB signal for maximum reliability and performance over extended distances. The cable operates as self-powered extender, for use with USB cameras printers webcams keyboard/mouse, etc. It is a true plug-and-play device. No additional drivers are required. It supports Win98/2000/XP/Vista/7, Mac OS V9.0 or higher, and Linux. It can also be used with many types of USB devices, including the Xbox Kinect and the eye of the PS3 Move! Important notes for Kinect users: 1. You can use this cable to connect the USB version of the kinect only. It is not compatible with the proprietary kinect connector. If you have a kinect connector, please use PID 8487. 2. The kinect requires more power than traditional USB ports are capable of providing. In order to prevent damage to equipment, Microsoft has designed the kinect with a proprietary connector. If your kinect did not come with a USB/Power adapter, you must purchase one from Microsoft before you can use this extension cable.
