This USB 3.0 extender hub provides a long-range solution for connecting multiple USB devices to a host computer. It features a built-in 10m (32.8ft) active extension cable with a 4-port USB-A hub, allowing users to extend their USB connectivity beyond standard limitations. The device is ideal for users who need to connect peripherals like webcams, printers, or storage devices in remote locations without the need for additional power outlets. The active repeater chip ensures stable signal transmission and maintains optimal performance over long distances.
The extender supports data transfer speeds up to 5 Gbps, making it compatible with USB 3.0/3.2 Gen 1 standards. It is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1, ensuring compatibility with older devices. The built-in Level 2 ESD protection offers enhanced safety with 4kV air and contact discharge resistance, reducing the risk of damage from static electricity. The device is driverless and OS-independent, allowing for easy setup on any operating system without the need for additional software.
The extender can be powered via bus power or an optional 20W power adapter, which allows for greater flexibility in installation scenarios. When using the power adapter, each port can supply up to 1A of power, making it suitable for power-hungry peripherals like external hard drives or monitors. The compact design of the hub makes it easy to install in tight spaces, while the active electronics ensure reliable performance even when no external power is available.
Daisy-chaining two units allows for a maximum extension of 65.6ft (20m), providing even greater flexibility in connecting devices across larger distances. This makes it particularly useful in environments such as offices, warehouses, or home setups where devices need to be placed far from the host computer. The inclusion of a 20W power adapter adds value by enabling more robust power delivery when needed.
