SMUGDESK USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable 50 Feet

SKU CH-88DP-DVR3V

Active USB 3.0 Type-A male-to-female extender reaches 50 feet with built-in signal booster chips for 5 Gbps data transfer

Cable Length 50 Feet

  • 50-foot reach lets you place USB devices far from the host
  • Built-in signal booster chips prevent data loss over the full length
  • 5 Gbps transfer speed moves large files quickly
  • Gold-plated Type-A connectors resist corrosion for reliable contact
  • Works with USB 3.0, 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 devices for broad compatibility

Long-Distance USB 3.0 Extension

This active USB 3.0 cable extends a Type-A connection up to 50 feet using three built-in signal booster chips. It is designed for users who need to place printers, scanners, cameras or VR headsets far from the host computer without signal loss. The plug-and-play design requires no driver installation and works with a wide range of USB peripherals.

5 Gbps Throughput with External Power

The cable supports SuperSpeed transfer rates up to 5 Gbps, ten times the bandwidth of USB 2.0. A supplied DC 5V 2A adapter provides extra current for bus-powered devices such as external hard drives, ensuring stable operation at the full 50-foot length. Performance will drop to USB 2.0 speeds when connected to older 2.0 or 1.1 ports.

Shielded Construction for Noise Immunity

Triple-layer shielding with aluminium foil and braided tin-plated copper conductors blocks EMI and RFI interference across the long run. Gold-plated connectors resist oxidation for reliable contact over repeated insertions. The PVC jacket is rated for over 20,000 bend cycles, reducing the risk of conductor fatigue in routed installations.

Questions about this item

Will the 50-foot active cable still deliver 5 Gbps when I plug my older USB 2.0 printer into the Type-A female port?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 devices, so the printer will work at its native 480 Mbps rate without signal loss over the full length.

How can I verify the built-in signal booster chips are active after I connect the cable?

The booster chips draw power from the host USB port; if a high-speed device such as an external hard drive transfers at 5 Gbps across the 50-foot run, the chips are functioning correctly.

Does the package include the DC 5 V 2 A power adapter mentioned for high-draw devices, or must I buy it separately?

The supplier description lists the 5 V 2 A power supply as included, so no separate purchase is required for power-hungry peripherals.
