Axagon ADR-215 USB 2.0 A-M -> A-F aktiivinen jatko-/toistinkaapeli 15 m

Active extension AXAGON ADR-215 USB 2.0 cable, 15 m long is ideal for connecting your computer to a USB device such as a mouse, keyboard, webcam, printer, scanner, plotter and others. The active USB repeater cable strengthens the passing signal and allows you to connect a significantly more distant USB device than the usual passive cable. The range of the cable can be further extended by using several cables in a row.

A great advantage of the ADR-215 extension is an integrated auxiliary power supply connector. In most cases, USB bus power is sufficient, but for devices with larger power consumption the USB power supply may be inadequate and auxiliary power from the mains may resolve the problem.

The remarkably compact body of the repeater cable allows trouble-free use in electrical installation strips or cable systems.

The use of a high quality shielded cable ensures high communication speed and minimal undesirable interference.

Input:
• USB 2.0 for connection to a computer
• USB Type A (M) male connector

Output:
• USB 2.0 for connecting a remote USB device
• USB Type A (F) female connector
• transmission rate 480 / 12 / 1.5 Mbit/s (high / full / low speed)

Power supply:
• Power supply of the cable and connected devices via USB bus (bus-power mode 5V - 500mA).
• For most connected USB devices, the power supply via USB bus is sufficient and no auxiliary power is required.
• The active part of the cable includes a connector (Ø 3.5 x 1.3 mm outer x internal diameter) for additional external power supply of 5V/ 1-2 A.
• The power cable USB A-M / 3.5mm jack, 1.2 m long is included. The cable allows powering from a standard mobile phone charger with USB-A output 5V / min. 1A, e.g. AXAGON ACU-DS16.
• When powering the repeater cable with the power adapter, an external 2.5" disk can be connected without the need for own power supply to the disk.
• For longer USB route with multiple repeater cables connected in a row, the USB bus supply may be inadequate for USB devices with lower power consumption than an external 2.5" drive. Also in this case it can help to boost the power supply by connecting a power adapter.

Other features:
• Fully compatible with USB 2.0 and backward compatible with USB 1.1.
• Full Plug and Play and Hot Plug support.
• Two LEDs indicating power and USB connection.
• Behind the active USB cable, a common passive USB cable can also be used.
• Dimensions of active part with are 74 x 22 x 13 mm, cable length 15 m.
• Weight 503 g.

Supported OS:
• MS Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 / 11 and later, Windows Server 2003 / 2008 / 2012 / 2016 / 2019 / 2022 and later (all 32- and 64-bit Windows versions supported), Mac OS X 10.x and higher Linux with 2.6.x kernel and higher.
• Note: Drivers are included with supported operating systems and will be installed automatically. No other drivers need to be installed and are not even available.

How to use

Connect the USB Type A (M) end to the computer and the USB Type A (F) end to the remote USB device. If the connected device requires more power than the USB bus provides, connect the included USB-A to 3.5 mm power cable to a 5 V USB-A power adapter (minimum 1 A recommended). Multiple ADR-215 cables can be linked in series to extend reach; consider supplying auxiliary power when using several repeaters or when powering high-consumption devices such as 2.5" external drives.

Recommendations

Use a standard 5 V USB-A charger with at least 1 A output (for example a mobile phone charger) when auxiliary power is needed. Check device power requirements before chaining multiple repeater cables and provide external power for high-consumption peripherals.
