StarTech.com 10m USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable – M/F
The StarTech.com 10m USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable (M/F) is engineered to deliver high‑performance connectivity over extended distances without compromising data integrity or power delivery. Designed for professionals who demand reliable, long‑range USB links—whether in server rooms, media production suites, or large workstations—this cable brings the full capabilities of USB 3.2 Gen 1 (formerly USB 3.0) to a 10‑meter reach.
Key Technical Highlights
- Maximum Data Transfer Rate: Up to 5 Gbps (5000 Mbit/s), ensuring rapid file transfers, high‑resolution video streaming, and low‑latency peripheral communication.
- Power Delivery: Supports a maximum output current of 2 A at 5 V, providing sufficient power for most USB devices while maintaining stability over the extended length.
- Active Design: Incorporates an internal signal repeater that regenerates and buffers data, eliminating the typical attenuation seen in passive cables beyond 3–4 meters.
- USB Version Compatibility: Fully compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.0), USB 3.1 Gen 1, and backward‑compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices.
- Connector Configuration: Straight male USB A to straight female USB A, both plated in nickel for corrosion resistance and reliable contact.
- Cable Construction: High‑quality polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket provides durability while maintaining flexibility; the cable weighs 491 g, balancing robustness with ease of handling.
- Compliance & Certifications: Meets CE, FCC, REACH, and RoHS standards, guaranteeing safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental responsibility.
Design Features for Professional Environments
The cable’s 10‑meter length is ideal for:
- Server racks and data centers: Extending USB connections between servers, storage arrays, and management consoles without the need for additional hubs.
- Video production setups: Linking high‑resolution capture devices to editing workstations across large studio spaces.
- Industrial automation: Connecting control panels or diagnostic tools that require a stable USB link over extended distances.
The active repeater module is discreetly housed within the cable’s bulk, ensuring no additional bulk at the connector ends. This design preserves the slim profile of standard USB cables while delivering the performance needed for demanding tasks.
Installation and Compatibility
Plug‑and‑play functionality means the cable requires No drivers or software installation. Simply connect the male end to a USB A port on your computer or hub, and attach the female end to the target device. The internal electronics automatically detect signal levels and adjust amplification accordingly.
The cable is fully compatible with:
- Operating Systems: Windows (including Windows 7 Enterprise and newer), macOS, Linux distributions that support USB 3.0/3.1 hardware.
- USB Devices: External hard drives, SSDs, printers, cameras, audio interfaces, and any peripheral with a standard USB A port.
