Key Technical Specifications

Maintaining Signal Integrity at 5 Metres

Standard passive USB cables often suffer signal loss over long distances. This active cable from Connektgear regenerates the data stream internally. Consequently, you avoid connection drops or slow peripheral response. The 480 Mbit/s transfer rate is sufficient for non-storage devices like input peripherals and printers.

Universal Compatibility and Plug-and-Play

The cable features standard USB A Male to USB A Female connectors. It works with most Windows, macOS, and Linux systems without drivers. Because it is Plug and Play, you simply connect it between your host device and peripheral. No external power source is required for the cable itself.

Robust Construction and Build Quality

The cable jacket is made from Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), offering durability for daily use. The connectors feature nickel plating to resist corrosion and ensure a solid electrical connection. In practice, this construction helps maintain consistent performance over time.

Compact and Manageable Packaging

The product arrives in a lightweight bag-style package. The package dimensions are 140 mm x 50 mm x 140 mm. This compact form factor reduces shipping weight and storage space. The cable itself weighs 290 g, making it easy to route and manage.
