16-foot active USB 3.0 Type A male to female extension cable with power adapter

SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable 16FT 5 Gbps Type A Male to Female with Power Adapter

SKU CH-0K9N-NB1SK

Active USB 3.0 extension cable reaches 16 ft with built-in signal booster and included 5 V/2 A power adapter for devices drawing over 900 mA

Cable Length 16 Feet

  • Extends USB connections up to 16 feet without signal loss
  • Active signal booster maintains 5 Gbps data speeds over long distance
  • Works with USB 3.0, 2.0 and 1.1 devices on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS
  • Includes 5V/2A power adapter for devices drawing over 900 mA
  • Plug-and-play design needs no drivers for instant peripheral connectivity

Active Extension for Long Runs

This active USB 3.0 extension cable stretches a Type A connection to sixteen feet while keeping the link stable. It plugs straight into a Windows or Mac computer, a tablet or a Linux machine with no driver required. The built‑in signal booster compensates for the attenuation that normally limits passive cables at this length.

Shielded Build with External Power

Tinned copper conductors and foil braided shielding protect the signal from interference during daily use. A 5V/2A power adapter is included and must be connected whenever a peripheral draws more than 900mA, such as a VR headset or a portable hard drive. The extra power keeps the data rate steady across the full run.

5 Gbps Throughput at Sixteen Feet

The active circuitry maintains USB 3.0 speeds of 5 Gbps over the full sixteen foot distance, which a passive cable cannot do. Backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices is preserved, but the decisive figure is the sustained 5 Gbps at this length. If your device only needs 2.0 speeds or a shorter run, a simpler passive cable will suffice.
