USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable 50FT
This active USB 3.0 extension cable extends connections up to 50 feet between a computer and USB Type-A peripherals. It supports data rates up to 5 Gbps and includes a 5V/2A power adapter to maintain signal integrity over the full length. The cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices and works with Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and Chrome OS without drivers.
Suits long runs; not for bus-powered loads over
Builders who need to place printers, VR headsets, hard drives, or cameras far from the host will benefit from the built-in signal booster and external power option. Users with devices that draw more than 900mA must connect the supplied adapter for stable operation. Setups that cannot accommodate an AC power outlet at the remote end should consider a shorter passive cable instead.
5 Gbps active Type-A male to female
The defining specification is the active circuitry paired with a 5V/2A power adapter that enables reliable USB 3.0 performance at 50 feet. This combination overcomes the voltage drop that limits standard cables, allowing full 5 Gbps throughput for compatible peripherals. Verify that your device’s power draw matches the adapter’s capability before installation.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 50 ft active cable or a shorter passive one?
Choose the 50 ft active cable when the run exceeds the normal USB 3.0 length limit; the built-in booster and included 5 V / 2 A adapter keep the link stable at full distance.
Will I really see 5 Gbps at the far end of a 50 ft run?
The active electronics and supplied power adapter compensate for attenuation, so the cable sustains USB 3.0 speeds up to 5 Gbps across the full 50 ft.
What does the Type-A USB 3.0 interface actually limit in daily use?
The Type-A USB 3.0 connector caps the link at 5 Gbps and 900 mA bus power; devices drawing more need the included 5 V / 2 A adapter.
