Installation
Connect the 20m USB 3.0 Active Extension Type A to C to a free USB Type A port on your computer.
Your computer will recognize the new hardware and install any required drivers automatically. Now
connect your USB Type C device, i.e. a webcam, to the USB C socket of the 20m USB 3.0 Active
Extension. Then connect the included power adapter cable to the DC socket of the USB 3.0 Active
Extension and to a USB power supply (not included). Usually a 5V 1A power supply of a smartphone is
enough to drive the connected device.
For USB devices with high power demands, such as a USB Hub or storage device, it may be necessary
to connect a bigger power supply like Lindy No. 73824 with an output voltage and amperage up to 5V
3A.
For an extension with even greater distance you can connect either the 8m or 10m version of the Lindy
USB 3.0 Active Extension System Pro (No. 43157 or 43158) directly to your computer and then connect
this 20m USB 3.0 Active Extension Type A to C as a final segment to reach a maximum distance of 28m
.
or even 30m
