A 16.4 ft USB 3.0 active extension cable with built-in signal-boosting chip for reliable 5 Gbps data over long runs
This two-pack of active USB 3.0 extension cables adds 16.4 ft of reach for devices such as the Oculus Quest 2, Rift Sensor, Steam VR, HTC Vive and Valve Index. Each cable uses a built-in NXP chip and gold-plated connectors to maintain signal integrity over the full length. The male-to-female Type-A design suits cameras, hard drives, gamepads, printers and other USB 3.0 peripherals.
The integrated NXP chipset actively regenerates the signal so the link runs at the full USB 3.0 5 Gbps rate instead of dropping back to lower speeds. Triple-layer shielding and gold-plated contacts reduce electromagnetic interference and contact resistance. The cables are plug-and-play with no driver installation required on supported operating systems.
Installation is straightforward: connect the male plug to a host USB 3.0 port and the female port to the device cable. The active circuitry only functions when both host and peripheral ports are USB 3.0; connecting to USB 2.0 ports will not deliver the rated performance. The 16.4 ft length may exceed the reach of some desktop layouts, so verify the path before routing.

No published specifications for this item yet.
The cable uses a built-in NXP chip and gold-plated connectors designed for long-term signal integrity; no user-serviceable parts are inside, so no routine replacement is expected.
The 5 Gbps USB 3.0 specification is the ceiling; sustained throughput will be constrained by the host controller and the connected peripheral rather than the cable itself.
The active extension draws minimal power for signal conditioning and runs cool during typical all-day VR sessions; no external power adapter is required.
