Break free from the constraints of standard cable lengths and position your essential peripherals exactly where you need them with the StarTech 10-meter Active USB 3.0 Cable. Designed for superior performance over long distances, this cable is the ultimate solution for creating a flexible, organized, and efficient workspace, whether in a home office, a professional studio, or an enterprise environment.

You don´t need to be limited by a standard-sized USB cable.

This active USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) cable, better known as a USB 3.0 cable, lets you position your USB Type-B peripherals where you need them, up to 10 meters away from your computer.

Now, you can locate USB devices such as portable hard drives and external video capture devices to make better use of your workspace.

This 10-meter (30-foot) cable has a built-in equalizing chip that delivers a reliable connection, with no signal loss, beyond the 3-meter limit of standard USB 3.0 cables.

Uncompromised Performance Over Extended Distances

At the heart of this cable´s exceptional capability is its active, bus-powered signal booster. This integrated equalization chipset regenerates and boosts the USB 3.0 signal, ensuring that the full 5 Gbps of bandwidth is maintained across the entire 10-meter length. Unlike passive extension cables that can suffer from signal degradation and data loss, this active solution guarantees that your devices perform as if they were connected directly to your computer. Enjoy blazing-fast file transfers, lag-free video capture, and uninterrupted operation without any compromise in speed or reliability.

Designed for Professional and Demanding Setups

This USB-A to USB-B cable is the perfect choice for a wide array of demanding applications. Connect printers, scanners, or all-in-one machines in a central office location far from the host computer. Set up your external hard drive enclosures or RAID arrays for data backup without cluttering your immediate desk space. For content creators, it allows for the ideal placement of external video capture devices, audio interfaces, and DACs for a streamlined production workflow. Its robust construction and high-quality shielding prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring a clean and stable signal even in electronically noisy environments.
