Product Overview

The Vaddio 440-1005-025 is a 30m (98.4 ft) fully shielded active USB 3.0 cable with USB-A to USB-B connectors. Unlike the active optical cables in the Vaddio lineup, this is an active copper cable with three internal repeater hubs and is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. It is port-powered with no external supply required and is suitable for BYOD conferencing environments. For a CMP plenum-rated optical version at the same length, see 440-1005-067.

Product Description

Active USB cables use built-in signal amplification to extend USB signals beyond the 15 ft (5m) limit of passive copper cables. The 440-1005-025 uses three internal repeater hubs to extend USB 3.0 at full bandwidth over 30m. Its backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1 provides flexibility in BYOD environments where host computers may have varying USB port generations. The fully shielded design minimizes interference in electrically noisy AV environments.

The cable is port-powered from the USB host port — no separate power supply or outlet at the cable midpoint is needed. This simplifies routing and installation in conference rooms and training spaces.

Key Features

  • 30m (98.4 ft) Active Extension - Three internal repeater hubs extend USB 3.0 at full bandwidth.
  • USB 3.0/2.0/1.1 Compatible - Backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 hosts for flexible BYOD deployments.
  • Fully Shielded - Minimizes EMI/RFI interference in AV environments.
  • Port-Powered - No external power supply required.
  • USB-A to USB-B Connectors - Standard format for cameras and USB devices with Type-B ports.

Typical Applications

  • Conference rooms needing a backwards-compatible USB 3.0 extension for cameras or AV bridges
  • BYOD meeting rooms where USB 2.0 and 3.0 host compatibility is required
  • Training rooms and classrooms with USB cameras or AV devices at extended distances
  • Non-plenum installations where a copper active cable is preferred over optical fiber
