What to Compare Before Buying
- Length: This model provides a 30 m extension. Compare that with the space between your device and computer or host connection.
- USB standard: It is a USB 3.0 cable. Make sure the connection you need is intended for USB 3.0 use.
- Power arrangement: The cable is powered through the USB port, with an optional separate power supply for power-hungry devices. Check whether your setup needs that extra power support.
- Existing cable length: It connects to your current USB cable, up to 2 m long. Confirm your existing lead matches that requirement.
- System expansion: It can be daisy-chained with other cables from the same range. Check whether you need a single run or a longer linked setup.
What Else You May Need
An existing USB cable is needed for connection, up to 2 m in length. If the connected device is power hungry, an optional power supply is also part of the setup, but it is not included.
Before You Decide
Confirm that the 30 m length suits your layout, that your setup is USB 3.0 based, and that your existing USB cable is no longer than 2 m. If the device draws more power, check whether the separate power supply will be needed.
