Jansicotek U310 Active USB 3.0 Extension Cable

The Jansicotek U310 is a 16ft active USB 3.0 extension cable with a Type A male to Type A female design. It uses built-in signal booster chips to maintain SuperSpeed 5 Gbps performance over distances where passive cables would fail. It is suited for users who need to place webcams, printers, VR headsets or storage drives far from their host computer. It is not suited for buyers who need a passive cable without external power requirements.

Sustained signal integrity over 16ft

The integrated amplification chips actively regenerate the USB 3.0 signal to prevent attenuation across the full 16ft length. This ensures uninterrupted 5 Gbps data transfer during long file backups, continuous video conferencing or extended VR sessions. Backward compatibility with USB 2.0 devices is maintained at 480 Mbps without signal degradation. The active design avoids the bandwidth drops common in passive cables at this distance.

Thermals noise and power draw

Gold-plated connectors, bare copper conductors and foil-plus-braid shielding deliver stable, low-error transmission with minimal heat generation during normal operation. The cable draws bus power for the booster chips and includes a 5V USB power adapter port to supplement current for high-draw peripherals. No fans or moving parts are present, so the assembly runs silently in office, home or vehicle environments.

Questions about this item

Does the 16ft active cable draw enough power to run hot during all-day use?

The built-in signal booster chips draw minimal bus power and the cable runs cool during continuous operation.

What must my computer already have for this Type A male-to-female extender to work?

A standard USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 Type A port is all that is required.

Will my older USB 2.0 webcam still reach full 480 Mbps speed through this 5 Gbps active extension?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible and the 2.0 device will operate at its native 480 Mbps rate.
