Know your gear
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.
If your device requires more than 250mA of power, it will either need to have its own power supply; or, to be plugged into a powered USB 2.0 hub (such as U222-004-R) that is connected to the U026-016.

Rated 5 out of 5 byArcher from excellent product, works like it is suppose to.Plugged the cable to my tower and windows 7 loaded the drivers for it and the cable has been working flawlessly running my printer. with the boost from the active device built in there is no loss of speed to the printing process. This is an excellent product and I would recommend this particular cable to anyone that needs an extended connection. Great company , they sell a great product.

Rated 5 out of 5 byJay from Make sure software isn't limiting USB voltageI bought this to connect a web cam on a wall to a computer a good distance away. Initially it wasn't working and I was blaming the cable, but it turned out not to be the cable's fault at all. Turns out I had software with a defect that limited the voltage available on the USB bus. Once I corrected that issue, the cable worked fine. I would like if there was an indicator light on the female end to prove that power is getting down the line.
