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 5 Gbps. 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 12 m.
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 when using USB peripherals which have higher power requirements.
