Extend USB 3.0 connections up to 40m
The Lindy USB Active Extension Cable Pro is a high performance active cable that allows access to USB 3.0 SuperSpeed peripherals over long distances. With support for data transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps this extension cable is perfect for transferring large data volumes quickly and reliably.
This 8m extension cable can be used standalone or as part of the Lindy USB 3.0 Active Extension System Pro. This system is a modular solution that can combine multiple USB Active Extension Pro cables and a USB 3.0 Active Extension Pro hub to distribute USB signals to up to 4 devices at about 40m (depending on the cable configurations used).
Please note that only the USB 3.0 Active Extension Pro 8m (Nr. 43158) or 15m (Nr. 43229) can be connected directly to your computer. If you are creating an extension using multiple units from the Extension Pro System then the first unit must always be the USB 3.0 Active Extension Pro 8m (Nr. 43158) or 15m (Nr. 43229). Once the first cable has been connected, you can then cascade further cables to achieve a maximum distance of 40m. The final part of the extension can be any of the three parts of the Extension Pro System. If you need to extend multiple devices or if you connect a USB device with high power requirement, then you should use the 10m Hub Pro unit (Nr. 43159) with it' s power supply as the final part of the extension.
This cable features industry-proven active technology and locking connectors to ensure full signal integrity in the most demanding environments.
Please note: This product contains one USB 3.0 hub, which needs to be considered if the product is deployed in a larger installation in connection with other devices.

Protect Critical SFP Ports from Tampering, Damage or Unauthorised Access
The Lindy SFP Port Blocker provides a fast, effective way to physically secure unused SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) network ports. These compact blockers are ideal for safeguarding fibre infrastructure in sensitive IT environments, AV-over-IP setups, and networked installations where access control is essential.
By preventing unauthorised connections, accidental cable insertions or foreign object intrusion, Lindy SFP Port Blockers reduce the risk of port damage and potential downtime. A robust insertion mechanism keeps each blocker firmly in place, with colour-coded keys ensuring only authorised removal. Additional keys and blocker packs are also available.
