Overview
This 5 m US175 cable extends a USB-A SuperSpeed peripheral connection. Its built-in signal amplifier/repeater supports data rates up to 5Gbps, while a nearby Micro-USB auxiliary input can accept 5V power when the connected peripheral needs a more stable power budget. The USB-A male end is the host side and the USB-A female end is the peripheral side.

Features
What it does well.
Key features
Active repeater with auxiliary input. The US175 design is active repeater with auxiliary input; that determines signal reach and whether extra electronics are present.
Up to 5Gbps. The listed ceiling applies only when every relevant host, cable segment, adapter and peripheral supports the negotiated USB mode.
5 m reach. Measure the routed path around furniture and leave gentle slack. Do not stretch the cable, pinch it under furniture or make tight bends at either connector.
Power behaviour. USB bus power; Micro-USB 5V auxiliary input available. Auxiliary input is not a charging output.
Use scenarios
Workspace reach. External storage, card readers and other USB 3.x peripherals after checking power draw
Peripheral placement. Printer, camera or capture hardware that documents operation through USB 3.x extensions
AV or imaging. Keyboard, mouse, controller or receiver when a long Type-A path is unavoidable
Long-route planning. A powered peripheral or powered hub placed at the far end of the 5 m route
A device category is not a compatibility promise. Confirm its connector, USB mode, driver, power demand and manufacturer guidance for extensions before permanent routing.
Setup and usability guidance
Test direct first: confirm the peripheral works when connected straight to the host.
Identify the host end: connect the male plug to the host/source and the female socket to the peripheral side.
Simplify: remove unnecessary hubs, adapters and other extensions during setup.
Connect securely: insert straight, support the cable weight and avoid side-load on either port.
Verify the real task: test sustained transfer, printing, recording, wake/reconnect or display/charging as applicable—not only initial detection.
Route last: once stable, use broad bends, dry indoor placement and strain relief.
Compatible devices and systems
Works with standard USB-A host ports and USB-A peripherals across Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS when the device has suitable drivers. USB 2.0 devices may fall back to their lower rate. The India listing says USB headsets are not supported; do not select this cable for that use.
Host requirement. A functioning USB-A male host/source port with support for the required USB mode.
Peripheral requirement. A compatible USB-A female connection, suitable device driver and a power demand the complete setup can meet.
Backward modes. Backward operation uses the slowest mutually supported USB mode. A faster-labelled host port cannot raise the capability of a slower cable or device.
No cable driver. The extension itself is plug-and-play. Specialist devices may still need vendor software, permissions, firmware or a particular host controller.
What this product does
Extends one USB-A host-to-peripheral link by 5 m.
Regenerates 5Gbps-class USB data with active electronics.
Offers a Micro-USB 5V auxiliary-power input near the peripheral end.
Supports backward USB operation at the slowest mutually supported mode.
What this product does not do
It does not provide USB-C, Thunderbolt, HDMI or DisplayPort connectivity.
It does not natively carry a display signal or add video capability.
Its Micro-USB socket is not an output for charging phones or accessories.
It does not guarantee sufficient power for every hard drive, camera or hub.
It is specifically not documented for USB headsets on the India listing.
What to do
Match the full chain. Check both connector ends, host capability, peripheral requirements, any downstream lead and the application before installation.
Protect the ports. Support the cable and leave a service loop. Hold the plug housing when disconnecting; do not pull or twist the cable.
Plan peripheral power. Try the direct host-powered connection for an ordinary compatible device. If a higher-current peripheral is unstable, connect a suitable regulated 5V supply to the Micro-USB auxiliary input, following the device and power-source guidance. The live media marks this port as auxiliary power and “not for charging devices.” An external Micro-USB lead and adapter are not part of the package.
Keep evidence simple. If troubleshooting, change one variable at a time and test direct operation before adding the extension back.
What not to do
Do not join two hosts. Never connect two powered host ports; USB host-to-host wiring can cause damage.
Do not force connectors. USB-A and USB-C are different. Stop if a plug does not align, and never use a loose or damaged socket.
Do not build a cable chain. No supported chain count is published. Extra leads, adapters and hubs reduce signal and power margin.
Do not trust legacy name lists. The title and older listing copy mention legacy PlayStation, camera and HTC Vive examples. Current headset, console accessory and tracking-camera support is not documented as a certification and must not be assumed.
Warnings and limitations
Speed: Up to 5Gbps is an interface ceiling, not guaranteed application throughput.
Power: follow the power guidance above; device detection alone does not prove adequate power under load.
Video: No native video output. Connector shape alone does not establish display support.
Chaining: use one suitable length; no supported daisy-chain count is published.
Condition: keep dry, avoid heat, crushing and tight bends, and stop using damaged or unusually hot connections.

FAQs
Questions buyers ask.
Is 20826 a passive extension?
No. It is an active US175 cable with a built-in repeater/signal amplifier for the long USB 3.0 path.
Which end connects to the host?
The USB-A male end plugs into the computer or other host. The device or its cable connects to the USB-A female end. Do not use it to link two host computers.
What is the maximum data rate?
Up to 5Gbps, the USB 3.0 / USB 3.2 Gen 1 class rate. Real throughput is lower and depends on the host, device, media, drivers and protocol overhead.
Is auxiliary power always required?
Not necessarily. Host bus power may be enough for many devices. The Micro-USB 5V input is available when the far-end peripheral needs additional power stability.
Does the Micro-USB port charge my device?
No. It is a power input for the extension/peripheral-side budget, not a charging output. The live model media explicitly says it is not for charging devices.
Are a Micro-USB cable and adapter included?
They are not documented in the core package, so plan to supply a compatible lead and regulated 5V source separately if your setup requires auxiliary power.
Does it support video or USB-C Alt Mode?
No native display signal is specified. USB-A does not provide USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode, and this cable does not convert to HDMI or DisplayPort.
Can I daisy-chain two active cables?
No supported chain count is published. Avoid stacking extensions; use one suitable length and test the device, software, power and reconnect cycle.
Does it work with USB 2.0 devices?
It can fall back when the host and peripheral support USB backward compatibility, but the complete link then runs at the slower negotiated USB mode.
Will old VR, Kinect or PlayStation camera accessories work?
Do not rely on historical title examples as a current guarantee. These products can be sensitive to controller, timing, power, firmware and port topology; follow the current device maker’s guidance.
Why is my drive or camera disconnecting?
First test it directly, then try another host port, remove hubs/adapters, use the auxiliary 5V input if appropriate, check the device’s own power supply and verify sustained transfers or recording—not only initial detection.
