13 cm USB 3.1 Type-A Extension Cable

This 13-centimetre flat FPC cable extends a USB 3.0 Type-A male port to a USB 3.1 Type-A female connector. Its ultra-thin ribbon design allows discreet routing inside laptops, desktops or docking stations. The short length keeps cable clutter to a minimum while maintaining a stable connection for portable storage and high-speed peripherals.

Practical limits of the USB 3.1 interface

The cable supports up to 10 Gbps bandwidth and remains backward compatible with 5 Gbps USB 3.0 devices. Signal integrity is maintained at the rated speed only across the 13 cm length; longer runs would require active circuitry not present here. The flat FPC construction resists bending fatigue but offers no shielding beyond the ribbon itself, so routing near strong EMI sources should be avoided.

Check your setup before ordering

Verify that the host port is a standard USB 3.0 Type-A male receptacle and the device presents a USB 3.1 Type-A female socket. Ensure the 13 cm reach spans the required gap without tension on the fragile ribbon. Confirm the installation space accommodates the flat profile and that no latch or retention mechanism on either connector will be obstructed by adjacent components. Buyers needing a longer reach or a right-angle exit should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 13 cm flat FPC cable or a longer round cable for a laptop dock?

The 13 cm flat FPC design fits tight spaces and hidden routing inside a laptop dock, while a longer round cable would add bulk and clutter.

What does the 10 Gbps rating deliver when I plug in a USB 3.1 Type-A drive?

You get up to 10 Gbps bandwidth with a USB 3.1 device; the cable falls back to 5 Gbps with USB 3.0 gear.

Does the USB 3.1 Type-A female to USB 3.0 Type-A male interface limit speed to 5 Gbps?

The cable supports 10 Gbps on the USB 3.1 female end and remains backward compatible at 5 Gbps on the USB 3.0 male end.
