The 16′, orange TetherPro USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable from Tether Tools allows longer tethering distances without worrying about signal errors or corrupt data transfers. With this cable, signals and data transfers going in and out of the cable are buffered to ensure consistent signal quality, meeting USB’s highest electrical and timing specifications.Passive cables over 16′ (4.88 m) in length, for the purpose of data transmission, may result in signal errors or noise and are not recommended. Up to four active USB extensions and one passive 15′ (4.57 m) USB can be daisy chained before any drop-off in signal or quality is detected.The set-up is simple, just plug the male end of the cable into the computer and then plug your camera or other device’s USB cable into the female end of this cable so the repeater is closest to the device and not the computer.Drop-off in signals can be avoided by daisy chaining up to four active USB extensions and one passive 15′ (4.57 m) USB together.Signals and data transfers going in and out of the cable are buffered to ensure consistent signal quality, meeting USB’s highest electrical and timing specifications.
