USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable.
An active extension cable contains electronics that boost the USB signal, allowing for longer cable lengths without signal loss.
It is backward compatible with USB 1.1/1.0 devices.
Data transfer rates can be up to 480 Mbps.
The cable is bus-powered, meaning it draws power directly from the USB port.
These cables are often used to extend the reach of devices like printers, cameras, and external hard drives.
