Cable Matters 10ft USB 3.0 Extension
This Cable Matters USB 3.0 extension cable adds 10ft of reach between a host computer and USB-A peripherals. It supports SuperSpeed data rates up to 5 Gbps while remaining backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices. The male-to-female design suits VR headsets, webcams, printers, external drives and other accessories that need extra cable length.
Gold-plated connectors with foil and braid shielding
Gold-plated contacts, bare copper conductors, foil shielding and braided shielding work together to reduce interference and maintain signal integrity over the full 10ft run. Moulded strain relief and grip treads make repeated plugging and unplugging more reliable. The construction targets error-free data transmission for demanding peripherals such as VR headsets and high-speed storage.
Passive copper cable with USB-A 3.0 connectors
The passive copper build carries both data and power through standard USB-A 3.0 ends without requiring external power. It extends charging cables for smartphones or tablets and works with hubs, mice, keyboards and flash drives. Users needing longer runs beyond 10ft or alternative connector types such as USB-C, DisplayPort or HDMI will need a different cable solution.

Questions about this item
Will the gold-plated USB 3.0 connectors wear out after many plug cycles?
The gold-plated USB 3.0 connectors resist corrosion and maintain conductivity over repeated insertions, while the molded strain-relief design reduces stress on the solder joints during daily connect and disconnect cycles.
Does the 10 ft length limit the 5 Gbps data rate under sustained transfers?
At 10 ft the cable meets the USB 3.0 specification for 5 Gbps operation; the bare copper conductors plus foil and braid shielding preserve signal integrity for continuous high-speed traffic.
Does the PVC-jacketed cable get warm or draw noticeable power during all-day VR headset use?
The copper conductors and shielded construction keep resistive losses low, so the cable remains cool and adds no measurable power draw even during extended VR sessions.
