  2. What Is a USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable

    Hello, and welcome to ShowMeCables. Today we’ll be taking a look at exactly what is a USB 2.0 active extension cable. Shown here is the USB 2.0 A Male to B Male active extension cable. It features a USB 2.0 type A Male connector on one side. And a USB 2.0 B Male connector on the other side. The USB 2.0 cables are capable of transfer speeds up to 480 Mbps. The cable is 30 FT in length and have a built in repeater to boost the signal, allowing you make extended runs. The cable is plug and play, no external power or software is required. The USB 2.0 A Male to B Male active extension cable is perfect when you need a long distance solution for your USB devices.

    Here is some more general info. USB 2.0 is a Universal Serial Bus (USB) standard that was released in April 2000. It is backward compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 1.0, and it features significantly faster data transfer speeds. USB 2.0 devices can transfer data at up to 480 Mbps, which is approximately 40 times faster than USB 1.1 devices.

    You can connect a variety of devices using USB 2.0, including printers, scanners, external hard drives and flash drives. It is also used to connect gaming controllers, webcams and other peripherals.

    USB 2.0 ports are typically found on the front or back of computers and they are often color-coded to indicate their function. Let's take one example. Blue ports are typically used for connecting devices that require high data transfer speeds, such as external hard drives.

    If you are looking for a way to connect a device to your computer and you need fast data transfer speeds, then USB 2.0 cables are good option, though they are not as fast as the newer standards of USB 3.0 and USB 3.1.
