Introduction
The NTI USB-A+A-5M Improved Active USB 5 Meter Extension enables the transparent 5 meter extension of a USB type A
female connection port on a USB host (i.e. USB CPU or NTI USB switch). Up to three (3) USB-A+A-5M Improved Active USB 5
Meter Extensions may be connected together to achieve a total extension length of 15 meters provided a self-powered USB
device is being attached. Otherwise, two (2) USB-A+A-5M Improved Active USB 5 Meter Extensions may be connected together
to achieve a total extension length of 10 meters . The USB-A+A-5M Improved Active USB 5 Meter Extension is a bus-powered
device that requires no additional power supply.
Note: Three cables can only be connected together if the device being extended has a current draw of less than 50 mA
or is self-powered. See Limitations below.
Compatibility
•
*ALL
USB WINDOWS CPUs
•
*ALL

*
The NTI USB-A+A-5M Improved Active USB 5 Meter Extension functions with
ALL
USB Windows, Sun, and Mac platforms
without error whether the NTI USB-A+A-5M Improved Active USB 5 Meter Extension is connected at startup or hot-plugged while

Limitations
The USB-A+A-5M Improved Active USB 5 Meter Extension does not support the suspend mode available with some PC, SUN,
and MAC operating systems and device drivers. The current draw from the bus power will be up to 150mA even when there is
no activity on the bus. If problems are experienced during system sleep or hibernate, or at wake-up, then set the USB port
properties to not use suspend mode.
The maximum application extension length of USB cable using the USB-A+A-5M Improved Active USB 5 Meter Extension can be
determined as follows:
((Number of active USB-A+A-5M Improved Active USB 5 Meter Extensions) X 150mA ) + device current draw
<=
(less
than or equal to) 500mA
