Product Information

Full details

The Lindy 12m USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable Pro is designed for users needing to extend USB 2.0 connections over significant distances, offering reliable data transfer up to 480Mbps. Its primary benefit is enabling peripherals to be placed far from the host computer without signal degradation. A key consideration is that this 12m cable cannot be used directly with a computer; it must be integrated into the Lindy USB 2.0 Active Extension System Pro as a middle or final segment.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this 12m cable be plugged directly into my computer?

No, the Lindy 12m USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable Pro cannot be directly connected to a computer. It is designed to be used as a segment within the Lindy USB 2.0 Active Extension System Pro.

What is the maximum total distance I can extend a USB signal with this system?

A fully deployed Lindy USB 2.0 Active Extension System Pro is limited to a maximum of 60 meters and 4 repeater modules.

Does this cable require any drivers?

No, this cable is Plug & Play and does not require any additional drivers or software for operation.

What USB speeds does this cable support?

The cable supports USB 2.0 High Speed data transfer rates of up to 480Mbps. It is also backward compatible with USB 1.1 Full Speed (12Mbps) and USB 1.0 Low Speed (1.5Mbps).

Can I connect multiple Lindy USB 2.0 Active Extension Pro cables together?

Yes, you can combine multiple Lindy USB Active Extension Pro cables and hubs, provided the total system does not exceed the 60-meter limit and the 4-repeater module limit.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

This product comes with a 2-year warranty from the manufacturer, Lindy.

What is the purpose of the locking connectors?

The locking connectors are designed to ensure a secure physical connection, preventing accidental disconnection and maintaining signal integrity, especially in demanding environments or where the cable might be moved.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized by the computer.

Ensure the cable is properly connected within a Lindy USB 2.0 Active Extension System Pro. Verify that the entire system does not exceed the 60m/4-repeater limit. Try connecting the device directly (if possible, for testing) to confirm the device itself is functional.

Slow data transfer speeds or frequent disconnections.

Check all connections in the extension chain for security. Ensure no other active USB hubs or unpowered devices are overloading the USB bus power. If using multiple repeaters, verify the 4-repeater limit is not exceeded. Ensure the device and host are both capable of USB 2.0 speeds.

The cable length seems shorter than 12 meters.

The 12-meter length refers to the cable's physical length. The effective usable distance can be influenced by the number of repeaters and overall system configuration within the Lindy USB 2.0 Active Extension System Pro limits.

Locking connectors are difficult to engage or disengage.

Ensure the connectors are properly aligned before attempting to lock or unlock. Do not force the mechanism. Inspect for any debris obstructing the locking mechanism.
