UNITEK Y-3003C USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable 15M 5Gbps Dual Signal Boosters DC 5V for Webcam Printer
The UNITEK Y-3003C is a high‑performance active USB 3.0 extension cable. It extends USB connectivity up to 15 meters. The cable features two built‑in signal boosters. These ensure lossless, stable data transfer at up to 5Gbps over the full length. It is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices. The cable is perfect for connecting printers, webcams, microphones, external drives, gamepads, and surveillance cameras.
The cable includes a DC 5.0V/2.0A power port (3.5mm x 1.35mm). This provides extra power to downstream devices. High‑consumption peripherals such as webcams, external hard drives, and USB microphones may need this additional power. Connect a 5V DC adapter (not included) to the port. The cable remains plug and play. No drivers are required for Windows, macOS, or Linux.
The cable is built with durable materials. It has an aluminium housing for heat dissipation. The connectors are gold‑plated for corrosion resistance. The flexible yet robust design ensures a long service life. The cable is ideal for home offices, large workspaces, streaming setups, podcasting, and content creation.
Use this cable to position your USB devices exactly where you need them. Place a webcam across a conference room. Set up a printer far from your computer. Run a microphone to a sound booth. The UNITEK Y-3003C delivers reliable, high‑speed USB connectivity over long distances.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the maximum data transfer speed of this cable? +
The cable supports USB 3.0 SuperSpeed data transfer up to 5Gbps. It is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 (480Mbps) and USB 1.1 (12Mbps).
2. How long is the cable? Can I extend USB devices up to 15 meters? +
Yes, the cable length is 15 meters (approximately 49 feet). With two built‑in signal boosters, it ensures stable, lossless 5Gbps transmission over this full distance.
3. Does the cable require external power? When should I use the DC power port? +
For low‑power devices (keyboard, mouse, flash drive), the cable may work without external power. For high‑power devices (webcams, external hard drives, USB microphones, printers), you should connect a 5V/2A DC adapter to the auxiliary power port (3.5mm x 1.35mm, center positive). This ensures stable operation and prevents disconnection.
4. Is the DC power adapter included? What are the power requirements? +
No, the DC power adapter is not included. You need a separate 5V DC power supply capable of delivering up to 2A (2000mA). The power jack is 3.5mm outer diameter, 1.35mm inner diameter (center positive).
