Product Information

This 8m extension cable can be used standalone or as part of the Lindy USB 2.0 Active Extension System Pro. This system is a modular solution that can combine multiple USB Active Extension Pro cables and a USB 2.0 Active Extension Pro hub to distribute USB signals to up to 4 devices at up to 60m. Can be used standalone or as part of the Lindy Active Extension System Pro to create bespoke extension systems of over 40m (depending on the cables used)

The Lindy USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable is compatible with all USB Type A equipped computers. The cable's unique and slim design allows installation in narrow surroundings - an advantage over other active USB leads which use bulky connectors.In accordance with The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 we would like to make you aware of the following important information: But if you're going for distance, or you want to absolutely guarantee the quality of your connection, then an active USB extension cable is a great way to do it. This can also be of paramount importance when you're dealing with something like a virtual reality headset, or particularly high-quality display or monitor. There's little point in you buying a high-end display (head-mounted or otherwise) to only send its data down a poor-quality cable that won't be able to deliver a quality image. This 20m extension cable can be used on its own or as part of the Lindy USB 3.0 Active Extension System Pro. This system is a modular solution that combines multiple USB Active Extension Pro cables and a USB 3.0 Active Extension Pro hub. It enables the distribution of USB signals to up to 4 devices at distances of up to 40m (depending on the cable configurations used).

You can also use hubs to extend your cable. These are a cable with a box, with multiple ports for you to plug in your cable. They can come with a plug end that is plugged into mains, or with a bus end that plugs into a port. However, if you use a hub with a bus end, you could find that you lose cable speed, due to a loss in power. There are ways you can extend a USB cable, the first being with an active repeater extension cable. These cables will act like normal extension cables but have technology inside them to boost your cable’s technology. If you have a USB 3 cable and use an active extension cable, the speed of the cable should not be reduced. This 20m extension cable can be used standalone or - for even greater distances - be connected to the 8m or 10m version of the USB 3.0 Active Extension System Pro (No. 43157 or No. 43158). The type C connection cable is the same on both sides, which means it can be plugged into a port either way round. Its narrow and small shape means that it is ideal for use with phones and smaller electronic devices. Modern computers and game consoles are starting to make use of this adapter cable, replacing the older types. With its USB A male and USB A female connector it allows Type A devices such as storage devices, webcams and other Type A devices to be connected at longer distances to PCs, laptops and tablets, while also ensuring flexible positioning. Up to 2 extension cables can be chained together to achieve a distance of 20m.

This applies to other standards as well. Where a passive HDMI cable can comfortably stretch to around 25ft, an active HDMI cable can go up to 100 feet in some cases. Where should you use active USB extension cables? Type C USB adapter cables are also more powerful than their predecessors and have faster speeds. They can be used for charging and transferring data, images, video, and audio. Even so, the ports they are plugged into can affect the speeds at which they work. A passive USB cable can reach around 16 feet comfortably when operating at USB 2.0 speeds, though faster USB 3.0 and 3.1 specifications don't suggest you go over nine feet with a passive cable. Higher quality cables might let you go beyond that, but you will likely start to face problems of signal degradation over that limit while operating at higher speeds. High performance, active cable that provides an extended 20m connection between a computer with USB Type A port and a Type C device An active USB cable is something else. At one, or sometimes both ends of an active USB cable, are small electronic circuits which boost the intensity of the data being carried by the cable. This can go a long way to warding off signal degradation due to attenuation. That's only typically a problem in longer passive cables, however, which is why active USB cables are recommended for the longest of cable connections.

If you would like to use this cable as part of combined Lindy USB 3.0 Active Extension System Pro installation, please note the requirements below. The first unit connected to your computer must always be the USB 3.0 Active Extension Pro 8m (No. 43158) or 15m (No. 43229). Once the first cable is connected, you can cascade additional Extension System Pro cables to extend the distance up to a maximum of 40m. Most USB cables are passive, so you're likely quite familiar with them. But what is an active USB cable? It's a cable with a boosted signal that helps maintain the integrity of the data it's carrying over longer distances. What makes an active USB cable? If a USB Type C device is to be connected, a USB 3.0 Active Extension Type A to C (no. 43375 or 43376) can also be used as the last segment. A USB type C cable type is more modern than a USB type A. The connector is much smaller than a USB type A cable, and has a similar rectangular shape, though the sides are more rounded than type A connectors.

How do USB Cable Extenders work?

The 8m and 12m cable, and the 8m and 12m hub feature a single active repeater module to boost the USB signal. The 30m cable uses two repeaters. A fully deployed extension system is limited to a maximum of 60m and 4 repeater modules. Any combination of cables and a single hub can be connected providing the 60m / 4 repeater limit is not exceeded. The extension hub must always be the last segment of the extension system. A passive USB cable is passive because it merely carries the data that's transferred through it. It does not interact with it beyond sending it from one device to another. A passive cable is a wire and a few protective coatings – even Cable Matters’ USB cables, which are all high-quality and feature shielding and other protective measures. With its USB A male and USB A female connector it allows Type A devices such as storage devices, webcams and other Type A devices to be connected at longer distances to PCs, laptops and tablets, while also ensuring flexible positioning.
