Unlike passive ext cables, the BF-200C 5m (16ft) USB Active Ext Repeater Cable is an active device that buffers the data going in and out to assure that the signal always meets the USB electrical and timing specifications. Using passive ext cables may result in timing errors and lead to signal degration and data loss. Passive cables are not recommended for extending USB beyond the cable length furnished with the USB device. The BF-200C can be used to extend the cable length of any USB 1.1 device. The USB data extension cable acts as a transparent USB hub, and buffers all upstream and downstream data traffic. Both low speed and high speed devices can be accommodated. Up to 4 BF-200C can be linked together to reach the maximum allowable length of 80 feet (4 BF-200C + 1 16' USB Cable).
