16.4 ft USB 3.1 Gen 2 Active Extension Cable

This 16.4 ft active extension cable uses USB 3.1 Gen 2 to deliver up to 10 Gbps bandwidth. It connects a USB-A host to a USB-A device while boosting the signal for reliable long-distance data transfer. The cable is designed for users who need to place peripherals far from their computer without signal loss.

Sustained high-speed transfer over 5 metres

The built-in signal booster chip prevents attenuation across the full 16.4 ft length, maintaining 10 Gbps throughput during extended file moves or VR sessions. Backward compatibility with USB 3.0, 2.0 and 1.1 ensures older devices still function, though at their native speeds. No drivers are required on any supported operating system.

Check your host and device ports before ordering

Both ends use standard USB-A connectors, so the host and peripheral must each provide a USB-A port. The cable draws power from the host port to operate the booster; verify your port can supply sufficient current for the connected device. This cable does not convert to USB-C or other connector types.

Questions about this item

Does the active booster in this 16.4 ft cable draw extra power or generate noticeable heat during all-day VR sessions?

The cable uses an integrated signal booster chip that draws power from the host USB port; it adds negligible heat and no external adapter is required.

What host port and device port must I already have for this USB A male-to-female extension to work?

You need a standard USB Type-A port on the computer or hub and a USB Type-A plug on the peripheral you want to extend.

Will this Gen 2 cable run at 10 Gbps when I plug my older USB 3.0 hard drive into it?

The cable is backward compatible with USB 3.0, 2.0 and 1.1, so the drive will operate at its native 3.0 speed rather than the cable's 10 Gbps maximum.
