FAQs
What is the maximum total distance achievable with this system?
When used as part of the Lindy USB 3.0 Active Extension System Pro, the total maximum extension distance is 40 meters. This is achieved by cascading multiple compatible Lindy active extension cables and potentially a hub.
Does this cable work with USB 2.0 devices?
Yes, the Lindy 30m USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable Pro is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, but the data transfer speed will be limited to the maximum speed of the older USB standard (e.g., 480Mbps for USB 2.0).
What are the requirements for starting a cascaded extension system?
The first unit connected directly to your computer must be either the Lindy USB 3.0 Active Extension Pro 8m (No. 43158) or the 15m (No. 43229).
Can I connect multiple devices at the end of the extension?
Yes, for connecting multiple devices or devices with high power requirements, it is recommended to use the Lindy 10m Hub Pro (No. 43159) as the final part of your extension chain. This hub comes with its own power supply.
What does 'Active Extension Cable' mean?
An active extension cable contains electronic circuitry that regenerates and boosts the USB signal, allowing it to travel much longer distances without significant loss of data integrity or speed, unlike passive cables.
What is the warranty period for this cable?
The Lindy 30m USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable Pro comes with a 2-year warranty.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported?
This cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.0) data transfer rates up to 5000 Mbit/s, which is equivalent to 5Gbps.
Troubleshooting
Device not recognized or not working at USB 3.0 speeds.
Ensure the cable is connected to a USB 3.0 port on the host computer. Check that both ends are securely plugged in and locked. If cascading, verify that the initial cable connected to the computer is the required Lindy starter unit (8m or 15m).
Intermittent connection or data transfer errors.
Check the cable for any visible damage. Ensure connectors are clean and properly seated. Try connecting the device directly to the computer to rule out issues with the peripheral. If part of a system, verify all cascaded connections and ensure the total length does not exceed 40m.
Cable not powering the connected device adequately.
This active extension cable relies on USB bus power. For devices with high power demands, connect them through the Lindy 10m Hub Pro (No. 43159) which includes a power adapter, or connect the hub as the final unit in the extension system.
USB 2.0 speeds only, not 3.0.
Confirm that both the host computer port and the connected device support USB 3.0 (or higher). Ensure the cable is fully inserted and locked. If cascading, the initial connection must be USB 3.0 compatible.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Enables USB 3.0 connectivity over an impressive 30-meter distance.
- Guarantees high data transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps.
- Active technology ensures signal quality and reliability.
- Locking connectors provide a secure and stable connection.
- Can be integrated into a larger modular extension system for greater flexibility.
Cons
- Requires specific Lindy components (e.g., 8m or 15m starter cable) for cascaded setups beyond the first unit.
- Maximum total extension distance is limited to 40m, even with multiple units.
- The 30m cable itself might not be sufficient for extreme long-distance needs without the system approach.
- While durable, the PVC jacket may be less resistant to extreme temperatures or abrasion than other materials.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Connect the male USB A connector of the Lindy 30m USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable Pro to the USB 3.0 port on your computer or the first unit in a Lindy USB 3.0 Active Extension System Pro.
- Connect your USB 3.0 peripheral device to the female USB A connector on the other end of the extension cable.
- If using as part of a cascaded system, ensure the first unit connected to the computer is a Lindy USB 3.0 Active Extension Pro 8m (43158) or 15m (43229). Subsequent cables can be chained up to a total of 40m.
- For multiple devices or high-power requirements, use the Lindy 10m Hub Pro (43159) with its power supply as the final connection point.
Compatibility:
- This cable is compatible with USB 3.0, USB 3.1 Gen 1, and USB 3.2 Gen 1 devices and host ports, supporting data transfer rates up to 5Gbps.
- It is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, though speeds will be limited to the older USB standards.
- Note that for cascaded installations, only specific Lindy Extension System Pro components are recommended for optimal performance and distance.
Care:
- Keep the cable and its connectors clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
- Avoid bending the cable tighter than its minimum bend radius of 3.6 cm.
- Protect the cable from excessive heat, moisture, and physical stress.
- Ensure connectors are securely locked when in use to prevent signal interruptions.
