UGREEN USB 3.0 Extension Cable | Active Repeater with Signal Amplifier | 5M & 10M | 20826 / 20827

The UGREEN USB 3.0 Extension Cable is an active male-to-female USB extension cable designed to extend the connection distance between a computer and compatible USB peripherals. Featuring a built-in signal repeater/amplifier, it helps maintain reliable USB 3.0 connectivity over longer distances than standard passive USB extension cables. Available in 5-meter and 10-meter lengths, the UGREEN 20826 / 20827 is ideal for situations where a USB device needs to be positioned farther away from the computer. It is suitable for compatible printers, scanners, USB storage devices, cameras, keyboards, mice, game controllers, USB hubs, and other peripherals. The UGREEN USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable provides additional reach for USB devices while maintaining a high-speed USB connection. The male-to-female configuration allows a standard USB device cable to be connected to the extension cable, making it convenient for installations where the existing USB cable is too short. The built-in active repeater helps compensate for signal degradation associated with longer USB cable runs, providing a more dependable connection for compatible USB 3.0 devices.

Active Signal Repeater Technology

Unlike a basic passive USB extension cable, the UGREEN 20826 / 20827 incorporates an active repeater to help maintain signal quality over longer cable runs. The repeater compensates for signal attenuation that can occur when USB connections are extended over greater distances.

This makes the cable particularly useful for installations where a USB peripheral must be positioned several meters away from the host computer.

5-Meter & 10-Meter Length Options

The UGREEN active USB extension cable is available in two lengths to accommodate different environments:

• 5 Meter – Model 20826: Suitable for moderately extended connections between computers and peripherals.
• 10 Meter – Model 20827: Provides additional reach for larger workspaces, meeting rooms, classrooms, studios, and other installations.

Selecting the appropriate length can help keep devices positioned where they are needed while reducing the need to rearrange the computer or workstation.

USB 3.0 Connectivity

The cable is designed for USB 3.0 applications, making it suitable for compatible devices that require higher-bandwidth USB connectivity. It can be useful for peripherals such as external storage devices, scanners, cameras, and USB hubs.

Actual transfer performance depends on the connected host, peripheral, USB controller, device capabilities, cable configuration, and operating environment. The maximum practical performance may vary depending on the complete USB connection.

Male-to-Female Extension Design

The cable features a USB Type-A male connector and USB Type-A female connector. Connect the male end to the computer or USB hub, then connect the existing USB device cable to the female end of the extension cable.

This configuration makes it possible to extend an existing USB connection without replacing the original peripheral cable.

Ideal Applications

• Printers: Position a USB printer farther from the computer or workstation.
• Scanners: Extend connections to USB document and image scanners.
• External Storage: Connect compatible USB HDDs, SSDs, or other storage devices at a greater distance.
• Cameras: Extend compatible USB camera connections for selected installations.
• USB Hubs: Place a compatible USB hub farther from the host computer.
• Keyboards & Mice: Extend USB input devices where additional cable reach is required.
• Gaming Devices: Extend compatible USB controllers and peripherals.
• Classrooms: Connect USB equipment positioned away from a teaching computer.
• Conference Rooms: Extend compatible USB peripherals around meeting-room setups.
• Home Offices: Improve cable reach between computers and USB accessories.
• Commercial Installations: Useful for compatible equipment requiring longer USB connections.

Useful for Workstations & Meeting Rooms

Longer USB connectivity can be particularly useful in conference rooms, training rooms, classrooms, studios, offices, and large workstations where peripherals may need to be positioned away from the host computer.

For example, a computer can remain on a desk while a compatible USB peripheral is positioned on a nearby table, equipment rack, presentation area, or other convenient location.

Improved Cable Management

The extended cable length allows users to position USB peripherals according to their workspace requirements instead of being restricted by the short length of a standard USB cable. This can help create cleaner workstation layouts and reduce unnecessary repositioning of connected equipment.

Compatibility

The UGREEN 20826 / 20827 is designed for use with compatible USB Type-A host ports and USB Type-A peripheral connections. It can be used with a wide range of USB-compatible devices, including computers and peripherals.

Actual compatibility and performance depend on the USB standard supported by the connected devices and the requirements of the individual peripheral.

How to Use

1. Connect the USB Type-A male connector to a compatible USB port on the computer or USB hub.
2. Route the extension cable to the required location.
3. Connect the peripheral's USB cable or USB Type-A connector to the female end of the extension cable.
4. Allow the operating system to detect the connected USB device.
5. Use the peripheral normally.

Benefits

• Extends USB connectivity up to 5M or 10M depending on the selected model.
• Active repeater helps maintain signal integrity over longer cable runs.
• USB 3.0 design supports compatible high-speed USB applications.
• Male-to-female configuration works with standard USB device cables.
• Useful for printers, scanners, cameras, storage devices, hubs, and peripherals.
• Suitable for offices, classrooms, conference rooms, studios, and home workstations.
• Provides greater flexibility when positioning USB equipment.

Important Compatibility Notes

• USB 3.0 performance requires compatible USB 3.0 host and peripheral equipment.
• Actual data-transfer speeds depend on the connected devices and complete USB connection.
• The active repeater improves signal transmission over extended distances but does not guarantee compatibility with every USB device.
• High-power USB devices may have additional power requirements depending on the host and peripheral configuration.
• For critical installations, verify the cable length, device requirements, and USB compatibility before deployment.
• Some specialized USB devices may have distance or bandwidth limitations independent of the cable.
