16 ft USB 3.0 active extension cable

This 16 foot active USB 3.0 extension cable extends the reach between a computer or Windows tablet and USB peripherals. It is built for users who need to place devices such as webcams, printers, hard drives, VR headsets, keyboards or mice farther from the host than a standard cable allows. The integrated signal booster chip prevents attenuation over the full length. Backward compatibility keeps it working with USB 2.0 devices.

Included 5 V 2 A power adapter for high-current

The bundle supplies a 5 V 2 A power adapter that delivers stable current and back-pressure protection during long-distance transfers. When a connected peripheral draws more than 900 mA the adapter must be plugged in so the link remains reliable. This makes the cable practical for bus-powered hard drives, VR headsets and USB hubs that exceed the port's own current limit. Plug-and-play operation requires no driver installation.

Up to 5 Gbit/s data rate with multi-layer shielding

The cable supports USB 3.0 transfer speeds up to 5 Gbit/s, roughly ten times the 480 Mbit/s ceiling of USB 2.0, allowing quick backup of large files and high-definition media. A multi-layer shielding structure combining tinned copper conductors with foil braided shielding minimises electromagnetic interference for error-free transmission. This specification decides whether the cable meets the bandwidth needs of a given peripheral.

Questions about this item

Will the built-in signal booster chip ever need to be replaced?

The active repeater chip is integrated into the cable assembly and has no user-serviceable parts, so no replacement is expected during normal use.

What throughput ceiling will I hit first during a long 5 Gbit/s transfer?

The cable is rated for USB 3.0 speeds up to 5 Gbit/s, so the host controller or the attached device will set the practical limit before the cable does.

Does the supplied 5 V 2 A adapter add noticeable heat or fan noise when the cable runs all day?

The external power adapter is a passive brick with no fan, so it adds no audible noise and only modest warmth during continuous operation.
