Product Information

But if you're going for distance, or you want to absolutely guarantee the quality of your connection, then an active USB extension cable is a great way to do it. This can also be of paramount importance when you're dealing with something like a virtual reality headset, or particularly high-quality display or monitor. There's little point in you buying a high-end display (head-mounted or otherwise) to only send its data down a poor-quality cable that won't be able to deliver a quality image. If you need to extend multiple devices or connect a USB device with high power requirements, you should use the 10m Hub Pro unit (No. 43159) with its power supply as the final part of the extension. Type C USB adapter cables are also more powerful than their predecessors and have faster speeds. They can be used for charging and transferring data, images, video, and audio. Even so, the ports they are plugged into can affect the speeds at which they work.

Can be used standalone or as part of the Lindy Active Extension System Pro to create bespoke extension systems of over 40m (depending on the cable configurations used) Most USB cables are passive, so you're likely quite familiar with them. But what is an active USB cable? It's a cable with a boosted signal that helps maintain the integrity of the data it's carrying over longer distances. What makes an active USB cable? Active USB extension cables, on the other hand, can go much further. There are active USB 2.0 and 3.0 extension cables that can reach up to 33 feet – although 4K-ready USB-C 3.1 cables max out at around 10 feet.

High performance, active cable that provides an extended 20m connection between a computer with USB Type A port and a Type C device USB type A or ‘Standard A’ cables are one of the most common connection cables and the connectors on these cable types are large and rectangular. Their ports can be found on a variety of products, such as computers, power banks and game consoles. USB type A connection cables are male and will connect to a type A port. High performance, active cable that provides an extended 8m connection between a computer with USB Type C port and a USB Type A device A passive USB cable can reach around 16 feet comfortably when operating at USB 2.0 speeds, though faster USB 3.0 and 3.1 specifications don't suggest you go over nine feet with a passive cable. Higher quality cables might let you go beyond that, but you will likely start to face problems of signal degradation over that limit while operating at higher speeds.

Due to transfer speeds, different cable types come with recommended length limits. For instance, a USB 2.0 cable has an advisable length of no more than 5 metres. A USB 3.0 cable has a length limit of 3 metres, otherwise, its ‘super speed’ transfer technology may be affected. If a USB Type C device is to be connected, a USB 3.0 Active Extension Type A to C (no. 43375 or 43376) can also be used as the last segment. Please note that only the USB 3.2 C/A Active Extension Pro 8m (Nr. 43381) or the 5m version (Nr. 43380) can be connected directly to your computer. Once the first cable has been connected, you can then cascade further cables to achieve a maximum distance of 40m. The final part of the extension can be any segment of the Extension Pro System (Nr. 43157, 43158, 43229, 43361). If you need to extend multiple devices or if you connect a USB device with high power requirement, then you should use the 10m Hub Pro unit (Nr. 43159) with it’s power supply as the final part of the extension. USB 3.0, USB 3.1 and USB 3.2 PCs, cables and devices are all compatible with each other, when using either a USB Type A or USB Type C host interface. This active cable overcomes distance and performance restrictions of standard USB cables with limited lengths.
