UGREEN US121 15M Active USB 2.0 Extension Cable in Kenya

Overview

The UGREEN US121 USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable (15M) is designed for users who need reliable, long-distance USB connectivity without compromising signal quality. Ideal for setups such as conference rooms, classrooms, and industrial systems in Kenya, this cable features a built-in repeater chipset that ensures uninterrupted communication between your computer and USB peripherals over a remarkable 15-meter distance.

With a data transfer speed of up to 480 Mbps, this extension cable is perfect for extending devices like printers, cameras, keyboards, and audio interfaces while maintaining full functionality.

Long-Distance Data Transmission with Active Chipset

Unlike passive USB cables, which degrade performance beyond 5 meters, the UGREEN US121 15M integrates an FE1.1S signal amplification chipset that maintains strong signal integrity and minimizes latency, data loss, and transmission errors. This ensures seamless communication between host devices and USB peripherals even across extended distances.

High-Speed USB 2.0 Performance

Fully compliant with the USB 2.0 standard, the cable supports speeds up to 480 Mbps, making it ideal for data synchronization, file transfers, and device operation. It’s also backward compatible with USB 1.1 and 1.0, ensuring compatibility with older peripherals.

Optional External Power Supply

To support power-hungry USB devices such as external hard drives, HD webcams, or multi-port hubs, the cable features a Micro USB 5V input for external power. This optional input ensures stable operation and consistent voltage even when connecting multiple or energy-demanding devices.

Premium Build and Materials

UGREEN ensures long-lasting performance with gold-plated connectors that resist corrosion and improve conductivity. The PVC outer jacket adds flexibility and durability, while internal shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI), guaranteeing clean data transfer. Molded strain relief at both ends enhances durability and prevents breakage during repeated use.

Plug-and-Play Functionality

The UGREEN US121 is designed for plug-and-play convenience — no software or drivers are needed. It’s compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, allowing users to connect instantly and extend USB devices with minimal setup time.

Comparison: UGREEN US121 15M vs UGREEN US121 10M

• Distance: The 15M version offers an additional 5 meters, making it ideal for larger rooms or longer setups.

• Power Requirement: The 15M cable may benefit more from using external 5V power for optimal stability.

• Performance: Both deliver identical 480 Mbps transfer speeds and chipset stability.

• Use Case: Choose 15M for conference or presentation halls, and 10M for standard office or home setups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this cable charge devices?
Yes, it can provide standard USB power, but for power-demanding devices, connect a 5V external power supply for consistent performance.

Is it compatible with USB 3.0 or USB-C devices?
Yes, it works with USB 3.0 and USB-C devices (via adapter), but at USB 2.0 speeds of up to 480 Mbps.

Can multiple extension cables be daisy-chained?
It’s possible, but not recommended due to potential signal degradation. Instead, use a single 15M active cable for best performance.

Can I use it for webcams or audio interfaces?
Yes, it’s perfect for USB webcams, microphones, and audio devices that need stable long-distance connections.
