The StarTech.com 10m Active USB 3.0 USB-A to USB-B Cable, part number USB3SAB10M, is designed for extending USB 3.0 connectivity over longer distances without signal degradation. This cable facilitates the connection of USB 3.0 devices, such as external hard drives, printers, or other peripherals, to a host computer up to 10 meters away. It is suitable for IT environments where standard passive USB cables are insufficient due to length limitations, ensuring reliable data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps (USB 3.1 Gen 1). This active cable addresses common issues related to signal loss over extended runs, making it a practical solution for workstation setups, server rooms, or any professional setting requiring remote peripheral placement.
This cable supports USB 3.1 Gen 1, which provides data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps.
The cable features a USB-A male connector on one end and a USB-B male connector on the other, designed for connecting USB 3.0 devices.
An active USB cable of this length is ideal for extending the reach of USB 3.0 peripherals, such as printers, scanners, or external storage, to a host system located up to 10 meters away, overcoming typical passive cable length limitations.
While designed for USB 3.0 (USB 3.1 Gen 1) speeds, USB 3.0 cables are generally backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, though performance will be limited to the older standard's speed.
