Black active USB 3.0 extension cable with signal booster module, 16 ft length, USB-A male to female connectors

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK 16 ft Active USB 3.0 Extension Cable with Signal Booster

SKU CH-P7X5-XWPWJ

A 16 ft active USB 3.0 extension cable with built-in signal booster chips for 5 Gbps data transfer up to 100 ft, gold-plated connectors and 22 AWG tinned copper conductors

Cable Length 16 Feet

  • 5 Gbps SuperSpeed transfer with built-in signal booster
  • 16 ft active extension reaches devices across the room
  • Gold-plated USB-A connectors resist corrosion and interference
  • 20 000+ bend cycles for long-term durability
  • DC 5 V 2 A power adapter included for high-draw peripherals

USB 3.0 Active Extension

This 16 ft active USB 3.0 extension cable uses built-in signal booster chips to maintain SuperSpeed performance over distances that exceed standard passive limits. Gold-plated USB-A connectors and triple shielding protect signal integrity for reliable data transfer. A DC 5V 2A power adapter is included to support bus-powered devices such as external hard drives.

Suited for long USB runs

Ideal for connecting VR headsets, keyboards, flash drives, printers or hubs up to 16 ft from the host computer without signal loss. The reinforced braided jacket survives over 20,000 bend cycles for permanent installations. Buyers who need a simple passive cable for short desk connections or runs beyond 100 ft should consider other solutions.

5 Gbps sustained over 16 ft

The defining specification is the guaranteed 5 Gbps SuperSpeed data rate across the full 16 ft length thanks to the active booster circuitry. Standard USB 3.0 cables cannot maintain this bandwidth at this distance, so the active design is the deciding factor for VR, external storage or any high-throughput peripheral.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum cable length before the signal booster becomes necessary?

The active cable is offered from 16 ft up to 100 ft, with the built-in booster chips preventing signal attenuation across the full range.

Does the cable draw all its power from the host port or does it need the external adapter?

A DC 5V 2A power supply is included to ensure stable transmission for larger energy-consuming devices such as hard drives.

Which connector types must my computer and peripheral already have for this cable to work?

The cable uses USB A male to USB A female connectors, so both ends require standard USB Type-A ports.
