USB 3.0 Active Extension Slim Lindy 15m Type-C 5000 Mbit/s

The Lindy USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable extends the reach of USB 3.0 Type A devices by an additional 3 m using built-in active electronics while maintaining data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps. With a USB A male to USB A female connector it enables longer connections for storage devices, webcams and other Type A peripherals to PCs, laptops and tablets while allowing flexible device placement.

Advantages

The cable supports chaining: up to five Slim Active Extension cables can be connected in series, and a combination of up to five different Slim cable lengths is allowed. The 15 m version (No. 43404) contains two chipsets and may be combined with up to three other Slim Active Extension cables. The extension is bus-powered and also offers a DC socket for an external power supply when devices have higher power requirements or when multiple cables are daisy-chained. Its slim, low-profile connectors allow installation in tight spaces and reduce bulk compared with many other active USB extenders. Plug-and-play operation requires no drivers.

How to use

The cable installs via plug-and-play; no driver installation is required. When extending beyond one cable, ensure the total number and allowed combinations (see key specifications) are not exceeded.

Recommendations

Use high-quality USB 3.0 cables on the device side and avoid excessive bends. For power-hungry devices or long chains of extensions, use the DC power input to ensure stable operation and maintain data rates.
