SMUGDESK USB 3.0 Active Extension 65FT

This active USB 3.0 extension cable spans 65 feet between a host computer and Type-A peripherals. A built-in signal booster chip maintains 5 Gbps throughput over the full length. It works with Windows, Mac OS, Linux and Chrome OS without drivers. Backward compatibility covers USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices.

Suits distant peripherals.

Builders routing VR headsets, printers or hard drives across large rooms gain reliable reach with the included 5V/2A adapter. The active design prevents signal drop-off that passive cables suffer. Users needing only a short run or lacking a mains socket for the adapter should choose a passive cable instead.

Active signal booster enables 65FT at 5 Gbps

The integrated amplification chip compensates for attenuation that would otherwise corrupt data at this distance. When the connected device draws more than 900mA, the external power adapter must be used to sustain the rated speed. Without the booster the link would fall back to lower rates or fail entirely.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with this 65FT active extension cable and what must I provide separately?

The package includes the 65FT USB 3.0 active extension cable with Type A male to female connectors and a 5V/2A power adapter. You only need to supply the host computer and the USB peripheral you want to connect.

Which version should I choose if I need the highest data rate this cable supports?

This cable is a USB 3.0 active extender rated for up to 5 Gbps. There are no alternative speed versions listed, so the single model shown is the one that delivers the maximum available throughput.

What does the 5 Gbps rating mean when I plug a hard drive into this 65FT cable?

The 5 Gbps figure is the USB 3.0 signalling ceiling. With the built-in signal booster and the included 5V/2A power adapter connected, the cable maintains that rate across the full 65FT length, provided the drive draws no more than 900 mA from the bus.
