Overview
The Tripp Lite U330-05M is a 5-meter USB 3.0 SuperSpeed active extension repeater cable designed to extend the connection between a USB host and compatible peripheral. Its built-in signal booster helps maintain the USB 3.0 connection across the 5-meter extension length.
USB 3.0 Extension
The cable supports USB 3.0 SuperSpeed data transfer rates up to 5Gbps when connected to a USB 3.0 computer port and USB 3.0 device. USB 2.0 equipment can also be connected, but operation is limited to the capabilities of the connected USB 2.0 port or device.
Active Repeater and Power
The U330-05M is bus powered and includes an active signal booster. It provides up to 770mA of power to the connected device. If the connected device requires more than 770mA, an external power supply is required for that USB device.
Connection and Expansion
The cable uses USB Type-A male and female connectors and should be connected directly to a USB port on the computer or hub. Two U330-05M cables can be connected together to extend the USB connection to a total of 10 meters.
Key Features
- Extends a USB 3.0 connection by 5 meters (16.4 feet)
- Supports USB 3.0 SuperSpeed transfer rates up to 5Gbps
- Built-in active signal booster for the extended connection
- USB-A male-to-female configuration
- Provides up to 770mA of power to the connected device
Applications
The U330-05M can be used to extend USB connections for compatible computers, hubs, storage devices, peripherals, and other USB equipment where the standard cable length is insufficient.
DC Supplies Product Note
For full USB 3.0 SuperSpeed performance, both the host port and connected device must support USB 3.0. If two U330-05M cables are connected for a 10-meter extension, the complete connection remains subject to the capabilities and power requirements of the connected equipment.
