SMUGDESK USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable A Male to A Female 65 Feet
A 65-foot active USB 3.0 extension cable with a built-in signal booster and included 5V/2A power adapter delivers up to 5Gbps data transfer for Type-A peripherals
- 5 Gbps SuperSpeed data transfer with built-in signal booster
- 65-foot active extension reaches distant peripherals without signal loss
- Included 5 V 2 A power adapter supports devices drawing over 900 mA
- Gold-plated USB-A connectors resist corrosion and reduce interference
- Braided jacket rated for 20,000-plus bend cycles ensures durability
Active USB 3.0 Extension Cable
This SMUGDESK active extension cable uses a built-in signal booster to extend USB 3.0 connections up to 65 feet. It connects a USB Type-A male plug to a Type-A female port and delivers SuperSpeed data rates up to 5 Gbps. A 5V/2A power adapter is included to maintain signal integrity over the full length. The cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices.
Wide Compatibility for Peripherals
It suits users who need to place printers, scanners, hard drives, cameras, keyboards, mice, or USB hubs far from a Windows, Mac, Linux, or Chrome OS computer without installing drivers. Buyers who need to extend USB-C, Micro-B, or other non-Type-A connectors should look at a different cable. The Type-A to Type-A design does not support those interfaces.
Sustained Performance with Power Support
The integrated signal enhancement chip and dual-bus architecture compensate for attenuation across the 65-foot run. For peripherals drawing more than 900 mA, the included AC power adapter must be used to sustain stable 5 Gbps throughput. The braided PVC jacket is rated for over 20,000 bending cycles, ensuring durability during permanent installation.

Questions about this item
What host port is required for the 65 ft active cable to operate at 5 Gbps?
A USB 3.0 Type-A port on the computer or hub is needed for the 5 Gbps rate; the cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports at lower speeds.
Will a bus-powered 2.5 in hard drive drawing more than 900 mA work reliably over the full 65 ft length?
The cable includes a 5 V 2 A power adapter; devices exceeding 900 mA must use that adapter to maintain stable operation at 65 ft.
How can I verify the link is running at 5 Gbps after connecting the cable?
On Windows check Device Manager for "SuperSpeed" under the USB controller, on macOS use System Report to confirm 5 Gbps link speed, or run a large file transfer and observe sustained throughput near 5 Gbps.
