The Lindy USB 3.0 Active Cable uses active electronics to extend the cable length of a USB 3.0 device by 10 meters. It continues to support data transfer rates of up to 5 Gbit/s. It features a USB Type A connector and a USB Type B connector, allowing for direct connection of USB devices with a Type A socket, such as printers, and enabling flexible positioning at greater distances. The Lindy USB 3.0 Active Cable is compatible with computers that have a USB Type A port. It supports Plug & Play and can be quickly and easily connected. The active cable is powered via the USB bus and should therefore only be used with low-power USB devices or devices that have their own power supply.
