Kramer 96-0216025 CA-USB3/AAE-25 25ft USB 3.0 Active Extender Cable

The Kramer CA-USB3/AAE-25 is a 25-foot (7.6-meter) active USB 3.0 extender cable built to overcome the distance limitations inherent in standard USB connections. USB 3.0 signals degrade quickly beyond a few meters on passive cables, but Kramer's active circuitry regenerates the signal along the cable's length, ensuring full SuperSpeed 5Gbps throughput from end to end. This makes it an ideal solution for connecting USB cameras, printers, scanners, external drives, and other peripherals that need to be positioned well away from the host computer.

One of the cable's key advantages is its bus-powered operation — it draws power directly from the USB port, so there's no external power supply to deal with and no extra outlet to find. This simplifies installation in conference rooms, studios, classrooms, and any environment where USB peripherals must be placed at a distance. As a Kramer product, it's built to the reliability standards expected in professional AV installations, making it a dependable choice for permanent setups where cable failure is not an option.
