Tripp Lite U024-016 Usb 2.0 Extension Cable 16 Ft

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE U024-016 is a 16-foot USB 2.0 extension cable built for reliable signal extension in demanding environments. Featuring gold-plated connectors and double shielding, this cable reduces signal loss and resists electromagnetic interference over its full length. It is designed to extend an existing USB 2.0 connection between a host device and a peripheral without degrading data transfer performance. Technicians and integrators use this cable when a standard USB cord falls short of reaching the intended device or when a cleaner, more permanent cable run is required in a panel, workstation, or equipment rack setup.

This extension cable suits a wide range of applications including IT infrastructure, AV integration, industrial control stations, and general low-voltage device connectivity. It is appropriate for both commercial and light industrial settings where a USB 2.0 peripheral — such as a scanner, input device, or data acquisition module — must be positioned away from the host port. The double-shielded construction makes it a practical choice in environments with moderate electromagnetic interference.

Key Features

• 16-foot length provides extended reach between USB host and peripheral
• Gold-plated connectors resist corrosion and maintain solid contact over repeated connections
• Double shielding reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic and radio frequency interference
• USB 2.0 specification supports standard data transfer rates for compatible peripherals
• Single unit quantity per package, suitable for individual or bulk installation projects

Compatibility

Designed as a standard USB 2.0 Type-A male to Type-A female extension cable compatible with USB 2.0 host ports and peripherals following the USB 2.0 specification.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools and no power shutdown for standard hot-plug USB connections. Route the cable away from high-voltage conductors and fluorescent ballasts to preserve signal integrity. Avoid sharp bends or pinching the cable during installation to prevent damage to the internal shielding. Low-voltage data cabling in commercial installations should follow applicable NEC guidelines for cable management and separation from power conductors.
