Active USB 3.0 Extension Cable 16.4 ft

This active USB 3.0 extension cable extends the connection between a computer and USB peripherals up to 16.4 ft. It supports SuperSpeed USB 3.0 data transfer rates up to 5Gbps. The integrated amplification chipset enables reliable data transmission at longer lengths than passive cables. It connects VR headsets, webcams, hubs, or external hard drives across a room.

Suited for long runs; not for bus-powered

Builders routing a single USB-C device across a room gain reliable 5Gbps performance without signal loss. Gold-plated connectors, foil and braid shielding, and a strain-relief clip ensure durable installation. Users with peripherals requiring more than 900mA must provide a separate 5V 2A power adapter with a 3.5 x 1.35 mm centre-positive plug. Buyers who cannot supply external power for high-draw devices should look at shorter passive cables.

USB-C male-to-female with external power option

The cable features a USB-C male connector on one end and a USB-C female port on the other. A Y-cable power port accepts an optional 5V 2A adapter to boost power delivery for demanding peripherals. A power status LED indicates when the booster is active. Backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 devices is maintained.

Questions about this item

Will this 16.4 ft USB C cable work with my older USB 2.0 webcam and hard drive?

Yes, the active extension is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 peripherals and cables, so your existing webcam and hard drive will connect at their native speeds.

How do I know the signal booster is active after I plug the cable in?

A power status LED on the cable lights up when the integrated amplification chipset is receiving power and the link is established.

Does the box include the 5V 2A power adapter with the 3.5 x 1.35 mm plug, or do I buy it separately?

The power adapter is sold separately; the cable includes a Y-cable power port with a cable clip for strain relief, but you must supply a compatible 5V 2A adapter with centre-positive polarity.
