The StarTech.com Active USB A-to-B Cable — USB2HAB50AC is designed to connect USB-B devices such as printers, scanners, audio interfaces,
and other peripherals to a USB-A host while maintaining strong signal integrity over extended lengths.
The “active” design incorporates signal amplification electronics inside the cable itself, enabling it to sustain data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps at lengths up to 5 metres (16.4 ft) — beyond what passive USB cables typically support.
Plug-and-play compatibility ensures no drivers or software are needed for installation, and the durable connectors
and reinforced moulded ends provide long-lasting performance for home, office, and professional setups.
