Altronics Performaire PC USB Bulkhead

This is the first time I have heard of the bulkhead cable failing due to water, but if you are having trouble you may want to put some dielectric grease on the connections to minimize corrosion.

We do offer the bulkheads in two lengths, 6' and15'. Best two use the shortest you can get away with. USB is spec'd for max 25'. We have found that this varies greatly on the PC brand, mother board, and actual USB chipset used in the PC or laptop. Newer PC doesn't mean better either. We have some order laptops that we can go 40' of USB cable and others that will only go 20'.

We also have various boosters and extenders that can allow for up to 150' of cable.

So if you are having any issues with the bulkhead cables or cable length, please give us a call to discuss so that we can provide the best solution for your application.
