USB 2.0 extension cable with a built-in repeater, to take a USB port further than a passive cable can manage. Past about 5 m the USB signal degrades and the device stops being recognised; the repeater regenerates it and keeps the connection stable.
It meets the USB 2.0 high-speed specification, with up to 480 Mbps, and works without external power or drivers. Two extensions can be chained to reach further. Useful for webcams, printers, external drives, card readers and any peripheral sitting far from the computer.
