UNITEK Y-3005 USB 3.0 Active Extension Cable 10M 5Gbps Signal Booster DC Jack Aluminium Housing
The UNITEK Y-3005 is an active USB 3.0 extension cable. It extends USB connectivity up to 10 meters directly. The cable features a built‑in USB 3.0 extension chipset. This ensures stable, high‑speed data transfers at up to 5Gbps. The cable is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices. It is perfect for connecting cameras, printers, external drives, webcams, and other peripherals over long distances.
The cable is built with premium materials. It has a durable aluminium housing that dissipates heat. The connectors are gold‑plated for corrosion resistance. The cable uses 22 AWG pure copper conductors with a 6.0mm outer diameter. This provides excellent signal transmission and long‑lasting durability. An LED indicator shows the working status at a glance. The cable is plug and play. No drivers are required.
This extension cable includes an optional DC 5V power port. This is a barrel type connector. You can connect an external 5V power supply (not included) to provide extra power for high‑consumption devices. Webcams, external hard drives, and Wi‑Fi adapters may need this additional power. Without external power, the cable still works for low‑power devices.
Use this cable to extend USB ports across a large room. Place a printer or scanner far from your computer. Set up a webcam for conference rooms. Connect an external drive in a server rack. The UNITEK Y-3005 delivers reliable, long‑distance USB 3.0 connectivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the maximum data transfer speed? +
It supports up to 5Gbps (USB 3.0 SuperSpeed). Actual speed depends on your devices and cable quality.
2. Is this cable really 10 meters long? +
Yes, the cable length is 10 meters. The built‑in active chipset ensures signal integrity over this entire length.
3. Is this cable active or passive? +
It is an active extension cable. The built‑in chipset regenerates the signal, allowing stable 5Gbps over 10 meters without degradation.
4. Do I need external power? +
For low‑power devices (keyboard, mouse, flash drive), the cable may work without external power. For high‑power devices (webcams, external hard drives, Wi‑Fi adapters), you should connect a 5V DC adapter to the auxiliary power jack. Without external power, the device may not function or may disconnect.
