Product Features
Technical Overview
This USB 2.0 active extension cable operates as a repeater, actively boosting the signal to maintain integrity over its entire 35-meter length. The cable supports the full USB 2.0 specification with 480 Mbps throughput, ensuring compatibility with USB 2.0 peripherals like printers, scanners, and external storage devices.
The cable features nickel-plated USB Type A connectors on both ends—male on the computer side and female on the device side—providing durable, corrosion-resistant connections. A universal external power adapter is included to ensure consistent performance when bus power alone is insufficient for the extended distance.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages

Deployment / Use Cases
The USB2AAEXT35M is ideal for scenarios where USB devices must be positioned far from host computers. Common applications include extending USB connections in conference rooms, classrooms, retail POS systems, and industrial control environments where equipment placement is constrained by physical layout.
This cable effectively bridges distance gaps in digital signage installations, kiosk systems, and security setups where USB cameras or peripherals need remote placement. The included universal power adapter ensures reliable operation even when bus power alone cannot support the extended cable run.
Commercial AV & Digital Signage
Extend USB connections to media players, touchscreens, or control interfaces in large venue installations without signal loss.
Retail & Hospitality POS
Connect barcode scanners, receipt printers, or payment terminals to central systems across counter spaces or back offices.
Physical Profile
The cable features a standard black PVC jacket that provides flexibility and durability for both permanent installations and temporary setups. With a weight of 3.10 pounds (1406.14 grams), the cable is substantial enough for professional use while remaining manageable for installation. The black color blends discreetly into most commercial environments.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 3.10 lb (1406.14 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
