Active USB 2.0 extension cable with built-in amplifier, 10m

This active USB 2.0 extension cable is the ideal choice when you need to extend your USB connection, for example for a printer or other USB devices. The cable enables data transfer rates of up to 0.48 Gbit/s, and the integrated amplifier prevents transmission losses.

- Built-in amplifier for lossless signal transmission
- Compatible with Windows 2000, XP, VISTA, 7, 8, 10 & MAC
- No adapter required
- Plug and play
- Compatible with USB specification revisions 2.0 and 1.1

It is important to know

With such a long active USB 2.0 extension cable, it is crucial to understand its practical limitations and the typical situations in which it can be the right solution. The biggest difference in the user experience is usually the relationship between cable length and the potential impact on data transfer efficiency.

• A longer cable allows for more flexibility in device placement, but in some cases the extended length can affect data transfer reliability, especially if devices are already operating at the edge of their capabilities.
• Active extension means that the cable has built-in electronics to amplify the signal - this often solves problems with signal loss over longer distances, but it is still recommended to use the cable for standard USB 2.0 devices and not for very demanding peripherals or charging with higher currents.
• Before purchasing, check that the connectors (USB-A on both sides) are compatible with your devices and power supply; an incorrect connection means that you simply won't be able to use the cable.
• Due to its longer length, the cable is not the most practical for carrying or using on the go - it is more suitable for fixed installations at home or in the office.

In practice

🟢 Long-term USB connection extension

The cable is very suitable for permanently extending the connection between a computer and a USB device over a longer distance, such as a printer or scanner in the office.

🟡 Data transfer with some devices

The cable is suitable for data transfer with limitations - for simple devices (mice, keyboards, basic external drives) it generally works without problems, but with faster transfers or more sensitive devices, delays or lower speeds may occur due to the length.

🔴 Fast charging of devices

The cable is not recommended for fast charging devices; the length and USB 2.0 standard usually do not allow for satisfactory charging speeds or current stability.

🟡 Connecting multiple devices via a USB hub

Use in combination with a USB hub is possible, but due to the length, instability may occur if multiple devices are connected at the same time.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Is the cable compatible with all USB-A devices?

The cable is compatible with devices with a USB-A connector on both ends, but always check that your device supports the USB 2.0 standard.

Does the amplifier in the cable need additional power?

The cable uses built-in active electronics to amplify the signal, usually without additional power supply – if an additional power connection is required, this will be indicated in the technical data.

How does a length of 10 m affect data transfer speed?

At a length of 10 m, there may be a reduction in speed and occasional delays in data transfer, especially with more demanding devices or larger files.

Is the cable suitable for use with printers and scanners?

Yes, the cable is designed for such cases of extended connection to standard USB 2.0 devices, such as printers and scanners.

Is it recommended to use cables to transfer images or video from cameras?

The cable can transfer data from basic devices, but more demanding image or video transmissions may result in slower transmission or interference.
