Where to buy





Active extension AXAGON ADR-205 USB 2.0 cable, 5 m long. The USB repeater cable strengthens the passing USB signal and allows you to connect a significantly more distant USB device than the usual 5 meters when passive cables are used. You can connect several repeater cables in a row.

A great advantage of the ADR-205 extension is an integrated auxiliary power supply connector. In most cases, USB bus power is sufficient, but for devices with larger power consumption the USB power supply may be inadequate and auxiliary power from the mains may resolve the problem. 

The remarkably compact body of the AXAGON repeater allows for trouble-free use in electrical installation strips or cable systems. 

The use of a high quality shielded cable ensures high communication speed and minimal undesirable interference.

Input:
• USB 2.0 for connection to a computer
• USB Type A male connector to connect to the computer

Output:
• USB 2.0 for connecting a remote USB device
• USB Type A (F) female connector 
• transmission rate 480 / 12 / 1.5 Mbit/s (high / full / low speed)

Power supply:
• Power supply of the cable and connected devices via USB bus (bus-power mode 5V - 500mA).
• For most connected USB devices, the power supply via USB bus is sufficient and no auxiliary power is required.
• The active part of the cable includes a connector (Ø 3.5 x 1.3 mm outer x internal diameter) for additional external power supply of 5V/1-2 A.
• The power cable USB A-M / 3.5 mm jack, 1.2 m long is included. The cable allows powering from a standard mobile phone charger with USB-A output 5V / min. 1A, e.g. AXAGON ACU-DS16. 
• When powering the repeater cable with the power adapter, an external 2.5" disk can be connected without the need for own power supply to the disk.
• For longer USB route with multiple repeater cables connected in a row, the USB bus supply may be inadequate for USB devices with lower power consumption than an external 2.5" drive. Also in this case it can help to boost the power supply by connecting a power adapter.

Other features:
• Fully compatible with USB 2.0 and backward compatible with USB 1.1. 
• Full Plug and Play and Hot Plug support. 
• Two LEDs indicating power and USB connection. 
• Behind the active USB cable, a common passive USB cable can also be used.
• Dimensions of active part with are 56 x 22 x 14 mm, cable length 5 m. 
• Weight 170 g.

FAQ

A): The use of other cables with ADR cables is not recommended because there is a greater voltage drop on them and there may be communication failures. 

B): Only when it is absolutely necessary (such as when connecting a printer), where there is another type of USB-B connector and in the shortest possible length - the use of a transient reduction is ideal.

A): If a device without own power supply and higher current consumption is connected to an active power cord , the device may not work or works unreliably. If you want to use a self-powered device such as a printer at the end of the cable, no auxiliary power is needed.

B): The auxiliary power supply should be used at a higher demand than 100 mA, or when several cables are connected in series (behind each other). For details, refer to the User Manual (downloadable on the product page).
