The Lindy USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable Slim uses built-in active electronics to extend the cable length of a USB 3.0 device by an additional 3m whilst continuing to support data transfer rates of up to 5Gbps.
This active cable overcomes distance and performance restrictions of standard USB cables with limited lengths.
With its USB A male and USB A female connector it allows Type A devices such as storage devices, webcams and other Type A devices to be connected at longer distances to PCs, laptops and tablets, while also ensuring flexible positioning.
Up to 4 extension cables can be chained together to achieve a distance of 12m.
The Lindy USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable is compatible with all USB Type A equipped computers. The cable's unique and slim design allows installation in narrow surroundings - an advantage over other active USB leads which use bulky connectors.
The USB active extension cable also features a DC socket for connecting an external power supply (5V 2A, not included) when using USB peripherals which have higher power requirements.
