Tripp Lite
USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Active Extension Repeater Cable (A M/F), 5M (16-ft.)
Extend your USB 3.0 connectivity reliably with Tripp Lite's 16-foot active repeater cable. This bus-powered solution overcomes signal loss inherent in standard USB cables, ensuring optimal performance over longer distances thanks to its built-in signal booster. You can achieve an impressive 33 feet (10m) total extension by daisy-chaining two units. It delivers up to 150mA of power to connected devices, with an option for external power via a 5V, 2A DC jack for more demanding peripherals. This cable is also backward compatible with older USB generations.
