Active USB 3.0 Extension Cable 100 Feet

This active USB 3.0 extension cable spans 100 feet using three integrated chipsets to boost the signal. It connects a computer or Windows tablet to USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 peripherals such as hard drives, hubs, mice, keyboards, flash drives, and printers. An AC power supply is included to maintain reliable operation over the full length.

Compatibility and Power Requirements

The cable uses a USB B to USB A connector arrangement, so verify that your host and peripheral ports match this configuration. Because the cable draws power for its internal repeaters, ensure the included AC adapter can reach a mains outlet near the cable midpoint. Devices that require bus power above standard USB limits may need their own supply.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

The active repeater electronics operate without fans, so the cable runs silently in normal use. Power for the three chipsets comes from the supplied AC adapter rather than the host port, keeping USB bus load low. Gold-plated connectors and foil-and-braid shielding help maintain signal integrity without generating noticeable heat.

Questions about this item

Does the 100-foot cable ship with the AC power supply or must I buy it separately?

The AC power supply is included in the box so the active extension works immediately; no extra purchase is required.

Should I choose this 30-metre active cable or a shorter passive one for my USB 3.0 hard drive?

Pick the 30-metre active version when the run exceeds the passive limit; the three built-in chipsets boost the signal so SuperSpeed reaches the full distance.

Will my USB 3.0 hard drive actually hit 5 Gbit/s through the 100-foot repeater?

The cable supports the 5 Gbit/s SuperSpeed spec, but real-world throughput depends on the drive, controller and file mix; expect near-spec speeds with a fast SSD and light protocol overhead.
