This cable has a USB-A connector Female to USB A Male USB 3.0 compliance

This is an active extension, that is to say that the peripheral side (USB-A female) is equipped with active components for amplifying and filtering the signal to enable it to travel longer distances without sacrificing speed or accuracy.

Depending on the material used, the active circuit is capable of carrying a signal over a length of 11.2m provided that the peripheral side cable is of a length less than 1.2m. It is thus possible to plug this cable on another cable of the same type to increase its lenght and flexibility.
