Unitek Y-279 USB2.0 USB-A Male to USB-A Female Active Extension Cable 20m
Unitek Y-279 USB2.0 USB-A Male to USB-A Female Active Extension Cable 20m - Description
Extend your USB connectivity seamlessly with the Unitek Y-279 USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable (20m). Standard passive USB cables typically suffer from signal degradation when extended past 5 meters. The Unitek Y-279 overcomes this limitation through an advanced built-in active booster chipset, preserving signal integrity, data stability, and full transmission performance over an impressive 20-meter distance.
Crafted with premium copper conductors, this cable ensures superior conductivity and minimal packet loss. To accommodate power-hungry USB peripherals such as external hard drives, high-resolution webcams, or security cameras, the cable features a secondary integrated USB Type-A power lead, allowing you to connect an external power adapter to provide continuous, uninterrupted power along the extended line.
