FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer speed of the Tripp Lite U026-025 USB cable?
The Tripp Lite U026-025 supports data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps (USB 2.0 Hi-Speed). This speed makes it suitable for connecting high-bandwidth devices like printers, scanners, and other USB peripherals while maintaining optimal performance.
How long is the Tripp Lite U026-025 USB extension cable?
The Tripp Lite U026-025 is 25 feet (7.6 meters) long. This substantial length allows you to place USB devices up to 41 feet from the source when combined with the original device cable. Additionally, you can daisy-chain up to 5 cables for a maximum distance of 141 feet.
What type of connectors does this cable use?
This cable features a USB 2.0 Type A male connector on one end and a USB 2.0 Type A female connector on the other end. Both connectors are gold-plated with corrosion-resistant gold-plated contacts to ensure maximum conductivity and minimize data loss.
Does the Tripp Lite U026-025 require external power?
The cable is bus-powered and provides up to 150mA of power to connected devices. However, if your device requires more than 150mA of power, you'll need to use an external power supply or a powered USB 2.0 hub to ensure proper operation.
What protection features does this USB cable include?
The cable includes premium foil and braid shielding for protection against EMI/RFI line noise that can distort or destroy data. It also features integral strain relief for extra flexibility and reduced stress on the cable and connectors, helping prevent cracking and damage during use.
