16-foot USB 3.0 active extension cable

This active USB 3.0 extension cable stretches 16 feet with a Type-A male connector on one end and a Type-A female port on the other. A built-in signal booster chip maintains SuperSpeed performance across the full length. It suits users who need to place printers, webcams, VR headsets, Xbox consoles, hard drives or USB hubs farther from the host computer than a standard passive cable allows.

5 Gbps transfer rate with signal booster

The cable delivers up to 5 Gbps, roughly ten times the 480 Mbps ceiling of USB 2.0, so large file backups and high-definition video streams move quickly. The integrated booster chip prevents signal attenuation that would otherwise degrade speed or reliability at this distance. An included 5 V power cable can supply extra current when connected devices draw more power than the host port provides.

Multi-layer shielded construction

A 22 AWG tinned copper conductor, aluminium foil and braided shield form a multi-layer shielding structure that minimises electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference. Gold-plated connectors resist corrosion and ensure stable contact over repeated insertions. The plug-and-play design requires no driver installation and works with printers, cameras, game consoles, flash drives, card readers, mice, keyboards and other USB peripherals.

Questions about this item

Will the 16ft active cable still deliver 5Gbps when I connect my USB 2.0 printer through it?

Yes — the built-in signal booster chip maintains SuperSpeed USB 3.0 performance at this length, and the connection will fall back to USB 2.0 speeds (480Mbit/s) for your printer without signal loss.

How can I verify the booster chip is active after plugging in the 16ft extender?

Check that the linked device enumerates at 5Gbps in Device Manager or System Information; if a high-speed drive sustains multi-gigabit transfers without drops, the chip is functioning.

Does the package include the 5V power cable shown in the photos, or must I buy it separately?

The 5V power cable is supplied in the box so you can add extra power for demanding peripherals or very long runs without a separate purchase.
