The Lindy USB 3.0 active cable uses active electronics to extend the cable length of a USB 3.0 device by 10m. Data transfer rates of up to 5Gbit/s are still supported. It has a USB plug type A and a USB plug type B and thus enables the direct connection of USB devices with a USB socket type A such as printers and flexible positioning at a greater distance.
The Lindy USB 3.0 active cable is compatible with computers with USB Type A port. It supports plug and play and can be connected quickly and easily. The slim design of the housing allows installation even in confined spaces. The active cable is powered via the USB bus and should therefore only be used with low-power USB devices or with devices that have their own power supply.
