Key Details
| Detail | Verified information and buyer relevance |
|---|---|
| Product type | USB 3.0 active extension cable. Useful when the device needs to be positioned further away from the host connection. |
| Length | 20 m. This is the key figure to compare against the distance between your devices. |
| USB standard | USB 3.0 SuperSpeed support. Compare this with the USB standard you need for the device connection. |
| Connection approach | Designed to connect to an existing USB cable up to 2m long. Check the cable already in use before choosing it. |
| Power | Powered by the computer’s USB port, with an optional power supply for power-hungry devices. Check whether your setup may need the extra power option. |
| Installation feature | Locking connectors. This matters where a secure connection is important. |
What to Compare Before Buying
- Reach: The cable is 20 m long, so compare that distance with your actual room, desk or installation layout.
- Existing cable length: It connects to a current USB cable up to 2m long, so the setup depends on the cable already in place.
- Power need: It runs from the computer’s USB port, with an optional power supply for devices that draw more power. Check whether your equipment may need that option.
- Connection security: Locking connectors are included, which may matter where the cable should stay firmly connected.
- System layout: It can be used alone or daisy-chained with other cables from the same range for a longer bespoke setup.
What Else You May Need
An existing USB cable is required for the connection, and it should be up to 2m long. An optional power supply is also mentioned for power-hungry devices, but it is not included.
Before You Decide
Check the 20m length against your setup, confirm that your existing USB cable is within the stated 2m limit, and decide whether the optional power supply may be needed for your device. If you want a longer bespoke run, confirm that the rest of the system matches the same range.
