Purpose and fit
This 1.5 ft USB 3.0 Type A extension cable adds reach between a host port and a peripheral. The blue jacket identifies the link in busy cable runs. It suits desktop users who need a short, tidy extension for printers, scanners or external drives without excess slack. Builders working in tight chassis or behind mounted equipment will appreciate the compact length.
Check before ordering
Verify that both the host and the device use standard USB Type A sockets. The cable carries USB 3.0 signals and remains backwards compatible with USB 2.0 equipment, so legacy gear will still function at the older speed. Confirm that 1.5 ft is sufficient for your routing path; the fixed length cannot be adjusted. No drivers or external power are required for operation.
Build integration
The male plug inserts into the computer or hub while the female port accepts the existing device cable, effectively lengthening the original connection by 50 cm. Shielded conductors preserve SuperSpeed data integrity across the extension. The short run minimises voltage drop for bus-powered peripherals. The cable occupies minimal space in cable-management channels and adds no active components to the chain.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box and do I need any extra adapters to use this cable?
The package contains one 1.5 ft USB 3.0 Type A male-to-female extension cable in blue; no additional adapters are required to extend an existing USB 3.0 connection.
Should I pick the 50 cm or the 1.5 ft version for my setup?
Both figures describe the same cable — 50 cm equals 1.5 ft — so there is only one length option to choose.
What does the USB 3.0 label mean for real-world transfer speeds when I plug this in?
The cable supports USB 3.0 data rates and is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, so it will run at the speed of the port and device you connect.
