UGREEN US175 USB-A 3.0 Male to Female Extension Cable 10m

The UGREEN US175 USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable 10M provides a practical solution when a standard USB cable cannot reach between a computer and a distant USB peripheral.

Unlike an ordinary passive extension cable, the 10-metre US175 incorporates an active signal amplifier/repeater. This regenerates the USB signal to help maintain reliable communication over the extended cable distance.

USB-A Male to USB-A Female

The US175 provides: USB-A 3.0 Male → USB-A 3.0 Female

The male connector plugs into the host computer, while the female connector accepts the USB peripheral or its cable. For example: computer → UGREEN US175 10M → USB Webcam.  This allows USB equipment to be positioned significantly farther away from the computer.

Built In Active Signal Repeater

The major difference between the US175 10M and a standard USB extension cable is its built in active repeater. At longer cable distances, USB signals can weaken. The active electronics in the US175 regenerate the signal, helping maintain stable communication across the 10-metre connection. This makes it especially useful for permanent installations where a long USB run is required.

Up to 5Gbps USB 3.0

The US175 supports USB 3.0 / USB 3.2 Gen 1 class connectivity with a theoretical maximum data rate of 5Gbps. This provides substantially more bandwidth than USB 2.0 at 480Mbps. Actual transfer speed depends on the host computer, connected peripheral, storage device and negotiated USB mode.

10 Metre Long Distance Connection

With a full 10 metre cable length, the US175 is useful where USB peripherals cannot be installed close to the computer.

Typical environments include:

• Conference rooms
• Offices
• Classrooms
• CCTV monitoring rooms
• Reception areas
• Studios
• Computer labs
• Meeting rooms
• Home entertainment installations

Micro USB Auxiliary Power Input

The US175 provides a Micro-USB 5V auxiliary power input near the peripheral end. For many low-power devices, power from the host USB port may be sufficient. However, if a peripheral requires additional power stability, the Micro-USB input can accept a compatible 5V power source. Importantly, this Micro-USB connection is an auxiliary power input, not an output for charging a smartphone.

Excellent for Conference Room Webcams

One useful application is extending a USB webcam installed away from the conference-room computer.

For example: Conference PC → US175 10M → USB Webcam

The active repeater makes the cable better suited to this type of long-distance USB installation than an ordinary passive extension cable.

Suitable for Printers and Scanners

The cable can also extend connections to compatible printers and scanners. If the printer uses a USB-B connection, you can use the US175 together with the appropriate printer cable:

Computer → US175 → USB Printer Cable → Printer

External Storage Support

The USB 3.0 interface can support compatible:

• External HDDs
• Portable SSDs
• USB flash drives
• Card readers

However, storage devices can have higher power requirements. The auxiliary 5V input may therefore be useful when additional power stability is needed at the peripheral end.

Wide Peripheral Compatibility

The UGREEN US175 can be used with compatible USB devices such as:

• Webcams
• Printers
• Scanners
• Keyboards
• Mice
• USB flash drives
• External HDDs
• Card readers
• Cameras
• Game controllers
• USB hubs
• Bluetooth adapters
• Other USB-A peripherals

The exact functionality depends on the USB device and host system.

Backward Compatibility

The cable can operate with compatible USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, although those devices will operate at their respective lower speeds rather than 5Gbps.

Plug and Play Operation

The active extension cable itself does not require a dedicated driver. Simply connect the USB-A male connector to the host computer and the USB peripheral to the female end. Any drivers required by the connected peripheral must still be installed normally.
