USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable 20m - USB-A Male to Female, Built-In Signal Boosters, USB-C 5V Power Input (USB3.0EXT-20M)

The USB 3.0 Extension Cable 20m (USB3.0EXT-20M) extends the connection between a computer or other USB host and a USB device, adding 20 metres of reach where a standard USB cable is too short.

USB 3.0 signals cannot travel 20 metres over a plain cable, so this is an active extension: signal booster modules built into the cable regenerate the signal, and each module has a power indicator. The female end has a USB-C 5V input for extra power when needed.

USB 3.0 supports data rates of up to 5Gbps. Use it with cameras, printers, hard drives and other USB peripherals. Power-hungry devices such as external hard drives may need extra power - connect a 5V supply to the USB-C input or use a powered USB hub at the far end.
