UGREEN 10 m USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable, 5 Gbps (20827)

Overview

The UGREEN 20827 extends a USB 3.0 port by 10 m with a repeater built into the cable, so a drive, camera or other USB 3.0 device can sit far from the computer without a driver. It is USB-A male to USB-A female and regenerates 5 Gbps class data over the run. A Micro-USB socket near the device end accepts a 5 V supply when the device needs more power than the port can deliver over the distance.

Is it right for you?

• Suits USB 3.x devices placed up to 10 m from a computer with a USB-A port, and slower USB devices at the slowest mode both ends support.
• Power from the host port alone may not be enough for every hard drive, camera or hub at 10 m; the Micro-USB input takes a 5 V supply to help.
• Use with USB headsets is not stated by the manufacturer.
• It does not provide USB-C, Thunderbolt, HDMI or DisplayPort connections.

What else you need

A computer with a USB-A port and the device’s own cable. If the device needs extra power, a Micro-USB lead and a 5 V adapter for the auxiliary input; the box lists only the cable.

Before you buy

• The Micro-USB socket is a power input only, not an output for charging phones or accessories.
• It does not guarantee enough power for every hard drive, camera or hub.
• No native display signal or video capability.
• No supported daisy-chain count is published; use one cable of the right length.
