12-inch USB 3.0 extension

This 12-inch cable extends a USB 3.0 Type-A connection between a host and a peripheral. It suits users who need a short reach increase for hubs, docking stations or other devices without adding cable clutter. The male-to-female layout plugs directly into an existing port.

Fits tight spaces and hubs

The compact length works inside cramped drive bays, behind monitors or alongside laptop docks where a full-length cable would coil awkwardly. It keeps the downstream device firmly seated while freeing the host port from sideways strain. Backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1 lets older peripherals share the same link.

Steady 5 Gbps throughput

Rated for up to 5 Gbps, the link maintains SuperSpeed rates during sustained file transfers rather than only in brief bursts. The short run limits signal attenuation, so throughput stays consistent across long copy jobs. No active electronics are required, so latency remains negligible under continuous load.

Questions about this item

Will the 12 inch length limit where I can place my USB 3.0 device?

The cable extends a USB 3.0 device up to 12 inches from the host port, so placement is constrained to that distance.

Does the cable generate noticeable heat during all day transfers at 5Gbps?

As a passive copper cable it draws negligible power and produces no measurable heat under sustained USB 3.0 traffic.

Must my computer have a USB 3.0 Type A port for this cable to work?

The male plug is USB 3.0 Type A; it requires a matching Type A port on the host, though it will fall back to USB 2.0 or 1.1 speeds on older ports.
