USB 3.0 active repeater cable ATEN ku3rep15, 15 m long, designed to extend USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 connections by an additional 15 metres while preserving high-speed data transfer. The cable integrates a signal repeater in the connector and supports plug-and-play operation for a range of devices such as external drives and webcams.

Advantages

The active extension provides signal regeneration to maintain USB 3.0 transfer rates up to 5 Gbps and backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1. The repeater is integrated into the extended connector, enabling a transparent connection without additional drivers. A 5 V power adapter is included to ensure stable operation over the 15 m distance.

The cable operates plug-and-play on common operating systems; no additional drivers are normally required.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid routing the cable near strong electromagnetic sources and ensure the 5 V adapter remains connected when using high-bandwidth devices. Total USB chain length including this 15 m segment should follow device manufacturer guidelines to maintain stable operation.
