The Lindy USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable uses built-in active electronics to extend the cable length of a USB 3.0 device by an additional 15m whilst continuing to support data transfer rates of up to 5Gbps.

With its USB A male and USB A female connector it allows Type A devices such as storage devices, webcams and other Type A devices to be connected at longer distances to PCs, laptops and tablets, while also ensuring flexible positioning. Up to 2 extension cables can be chained together to achieve a distance of 30m.

The Lindy USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable is compatible with all USB Type A equipped computers. With plug and play functionality, this extension cable can be installed quickly and with minimum fuss, ideal for both professional and first time users.

The USB active extension cable also features a DC socket for connecting an external power supply (not included) when using USB peripherals which have higher power requirements.
