Overview
The Eaton U042-050 is a Tripp Lite by Eaton USB 2.0 Hi-Speed A/B Active Repeater Cable with USB Type-A male and USB Type-B male connectors. It extends the connection between a computer and USB peripheral by up to 50 ft. (15.24 m) using a bus-powered signal booster. Eaton's catalog confirms the USB 2.0 interface, 480 Mbps maximum transfer rate, active cable design and 15.24 m length.
The integrated active repeater compensates for signal degradation over longer USB cable runs. The cable supports data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps and can provide up to 150 mA to the connected device. It is backward compatible with previous USB generations.
Designed for connecting printers, scanners, card readers and similar USB peripherals to computers at extended distances, the U042-050 is plug-and-play and requires no external power supply, drivers or software.
