SMUGDESK USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable 33 Feet

SKU CH-XEB1-D8A1T

Active USB 3.0 extension cable with built-in signal booster chips extends connections up to 33 feet at 5 Gbps while maintaining full bandwidth

Cable Length 33 Feet

  • Extends USB 3.0 connections up to 33 feet without signal loss
  • Built-in booster chips maintain full 5 Gbps transfer speed over long distance
  • Triple shielding with foil and braid blocks EMI and RFI interference
  • Gold-plated connectors resist corrosion for reliable long-term conductivity
  • Backwards compatible with USB 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 devices

What this cable is and who uses it

This active USB 3.0 extension cable reaches 33 feet and includes a 5 V power cable to drive built-in signal booster chips. It connects a USB Type A male plug to a Type A female port, letting you place peripherals such as printers, scanners, cameras, VR headsets, game consoles, hubs, drives, mice or keyboards far from the host computer.

Behaviour under sustained load

Triple-layer shielding with aluminium foil and braid plus tin-plated copper conductors keeps EMI and RFI noise low during long transfers. The active booster chips prevent the signal attenuation that passive cables suffer at this length, so the link can maintain the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed rate of up to 5 Gbps without dropping back to lower speeds.

Installation notes and common pitfalls

Plug the male end into the host, the female end into the device, and connect the 5 V power cable to a USB port or charger so the booster chips receive power. Without that external power the active circuitry cannot operate and the link will fail. The cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 devices, but those older devices will still run at their native 480 Mbps or slower rates.

Questions about this item

Does the 33-foot active cable draw extra power or run warm when used all day?

The built-in signal booster chips are powered by the included 5V power cable, so the cable maintains full 5 Gbps speed over 33 feet without drawing extra bus power or generating noticeable heat.

What must I already have to use this Type A male-to-female extender?

You need a free USB 3.0 Type A port on the host and a standard USB 3.0 Type A plug on the device; the 5V power adapter plugs into any USB power source or wall charger.

Will my USB 2.0 printer and USB 1.1 scanner still work at full speed through this 33-foot run?

Yes, the cable is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 devices, so older peripherals operate at their native speeds while the active booster prevents signal loss over the full length.
