Smart USB Active Extension Cable 16' (5 m) - USB-XT
Product Overview
The SMART USB Active Extension Cable 16' (USB-XT) extends USB connections by up to 5 meters (16 feet) with an active signal booster, maintaining reliable data transmission over distances that passive cables cannot support. It is designed for use with SMART Board installations where the connected device — such as a laptop, PC, or peripheral — cannot be positioned immediately adjacent to the display. The active repeater circuit built into the cable ensures signal integrity without requiring external power adapters in most standard USB deployments.
Product Description
The USB-XT active extension cable solves a common installation challenge: keeping USB signal quality when the source device is mounted or located away from the SMART Board. At 5 meters, it covers typical classroom or conference room distances between a wall-mounted display and a desk or equipment rack. The active circuitry eliminates the signal degradation that affects standard passive USB cables beyond 3 meters. It is compatible with USB 2.0 devices and works with SMART Board touch, pen, and peripheral connections. This cable is a straightforward, low-cost solution for clean SMART Board installations. Available at Creation Networks.
