  • Extends USB reach to 16 ft with built-in signal booster chips
  • Delivers 5 Gbps data transfer, ten times faster than 480 Mbps
  • Gold-plated connectors resist corrosion for lasting conductivity
  • Triple-layer shielding blocks EMI and RFI to minimise data loss
  • Works with USB 3.0, 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 devices including VR, consoles and printers

USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable 16 ft

This active USB 3.0 extension cable adds 16 feet of reach between a host Type-A port and a Type-A peripheral. Built-in signal booster chips maintain full SuperSpeed integrity over the longer run. The design suits home-office users, gamers and anyone connecting cameras, printers or VR headsets across a room. It is not for installations that need more than the supplied length or that lack a free USB port for the auxiliary power lead.

5 Gbps SuperSpeed with 5 V power assist

The cable delivers up to 5 Gbps transfer rates, ten times the 480 Mbps ceiling of USB 2.0, and remains backwards compatible with 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 devices. Triple shielding and gold-plated contacts preserve signal quality at the full 16-foot span. The included 5 V power cable supplies extra current for bus-hungry peripherals such as hard drives or VR sensors. Without an available USB-A power source the booster cannot operate and the link falls back to shorter passive limits.

Gold-plated connectors and triple shielding

Corrosion-resistant gold plating on both Type-A plugs ensures durable, low-resistance mating cycles. A multi-layer shield — aluminium foil plus braid over tin-plated copper conductors — rejects EMI and RFI in electrically noisy environments. The package supplies only the active extension cable and the 5 V power lead; no driver disc, mounting hardware or additional adapters are included. Users needing right-angle ends or locking screws must source those separately.

Questions about this item

Will the 16 ft active extension cable maintain 5 Gbps transfer rates when connected to my existing USB 2.0 hub?

The cable is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 devices, so it will work with your hub, but the transfer rate will be limited to the hub's 480 Mbps maximum.

How can I verify the built-in signal booster chips are functioning correctly after installation?

Connect a USB 3.0 device and confirm it operates at Super Speed 5 Gbps without signal drop over the full 16 ft length, which the active chips are designed to prevent.

Does the package include the 5 V power cable and are any additional adapters required for a standard USB 3.0 Type A female port?

The 5 V power cable is included; the cable uses a USB 3.0 Type A male connector on one end and a Type A female port on the other, so no extra adapters are needed for standard ports.
