EXERTIS CONNECT Active USB 3.0 Extension Cable with Repeater, USB Type-A Male to USB Type-A Female, 5.0 m, Black (149254)

Active USB 3.0 extension cable with integrated signal amplifier extends your USB connection by 5 meters without data loss or performance drops. The built-in repeater regenerates the USB 3.0 signal to maintain full 5 Gbps transfer speeds over the entire length, making it ideal for devices that require reliable high-speed connectivity beyond the standard USB cable limit.

Advantages

This active extension cable overcomes the typical 3-meter limitation of passive USB 3.0 cables by amplifying the signal at the female end. It ensures stable data transmission for bandwidth-intensive devices such as external hard drives, webcams, and VR headsets. The double shielding (foil and braid) reduces electromagnetic interference, while the durable PVC jacket and copper conductors provide long-lasting performance. Plug-and-play design requires no drivers, and bus-powered operation means no external power adapter is needed.

Suitable for

• Connecting USB 3.0 devices at a distance, such as printers, scanners, and external storage
• Extending the reach of USB cameras, microphones, and other peripherals in conference rooms or studios
• Industrial and office environments where devices need to be placed away from the host computer
• Compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices, ensuring broad usability
