Active USB 3.0 extension cable

The IOGEAR GUE305 is a 16.4 ft USB 3.0 BoostLinq cable with a USB A to USB C connector arrangement. It uses built-in active electronics to amplify the SuperSpeed signal so that full 5 Gbps performance is maintained over the extended length without signal degradation. The black cable operates on a plug-and-play basis and requires no external power supply or driver installation. It is designed for users who need to place a USB-C device farther from the host port than a passive cable allows.

Suitable for extending USB-C peripherals over long

This cable suits anyone connecting a USB-C device such as an external drive, camera or dock across a room or through conduit where a standard passive cable would fail. The active booster chipset ensures reliable USB 3.0 throughput at 16.4 ft. It is not for buyers who need to connect two USB-A ports or two USB-C ports directly. It is also not for users who require a passive cable without integrated signal conditioning electronics.

USB A to USB C connector orientation

The fixed USB A to USB C connector pairing determines which host and device combinations are physically compatible. Verify that the host side provides a USB-A port and the peripheral side accepts a USB-C plug before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What USB-A port version does my host need to reach the 5 Gbps rate of the GUE305?

A USB 3.0 Type-A port is required for SuperSpeed transfers; the cable falls back to USB 2.0 or 1.1 speeds on older ports.

Will the GUE305 extension work with a USB 2.0 peripheral I already own?

Yes, the active booster chipset maintains backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices at their native speeds.

How can I verify the GUE305 is delivering USB 3.0 performance after I plug it in?

Check the OS device manager or system profiler to confirm the connected device enumerates at SuperSpeed (5 Gbps) rather than High-Speed.
