Desktop USB 3.0 Extension
This 0.8 metre USB 3.0 Type-A male to female cable extends a desktop port for easier peripheral access. It supports 5 Gbps SuperSpeed data transfer for large file transmission. The shielded design reduces interference to maintain a stable signal during daily use.
Suits Tidy Desktop Routing
The short length keeps wiring neat on a desk while reaching external drives or USB hubs. Buyers needing longer reach across a room or through trunking should look at something else. Builds requiring internal headers or panel-mount connectors are not served by this external cable.
5 Gbps SuperSpeed Rating
The cable operates at USB 3.0 5 Gbps throughput, which determines the maximum transfer rate for connected devices. If your workflow depends on faster bus speeds, this link will be the bottleneck.

Questions about this item
What data rate does the USB 3.0 Type-A interface on this cable actually cap at?
The USB 3.0 Type-A connectors on this extension cable support up to 5 Gbps SuperSpeed transfer, so the link will not exceed that rate even if the host and device are capable of higher speeds.
How much clearance does the 0.8 m length and the Type-A plug housing need behind a desktop or laptop port?
The cable is 0.8 m long and uses standard USB 3.0 Type-A male and female ends, so allow enough depth for the plug body plus a gentle bend radius — typically a few centimetres behind the port — to avoid stress on the connector.
Do I need drivers or any special setup step to make this extension cable work with an external drive or hub?
No drivers are required; just plug the male end into the computer's USB 3.0 Type-A port and connect your peripheral to the female end, making sure the plug is fully seated so the SuperSpeed pins make contact.
