Three-pack USB 3.0 extension cables
This set contains three USB 3.0 extension cables, each measuring 0.5 m (1.64 ft). They connect a Type A male plug to a Type A female port, letting you position peripherals further from the host. The cables suit laptops, desktops, keyboards, card readers and printers that use the standard USB-A interface.
Shielded construction for daily routing
Each cable uses shielding that minimises radio and electromagnetic interference during data transfers. The male-to-female layout lets you leave a device plugged in at a convenient spot while the host stays fixed. Backward compatibility with USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and USB 1.1 means older peripherals work without adapters.
Low-latency signalling at 5 Gbps
SuperSpeed USB 3.0 dual-bus architecture allows USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 traffic to run simultaneously, delivering up to 5 Gbps (4.8 Gbps typical) throughput. Passive copper construction draws no external power and adds negligible heat or noise. The 0.5 m length keeps signal loss low for reliable everyday operation.

Questions about this item
What speed does the USB 3.0 Type-A extension actually cap at in practice?
The cable is rated for SuperSpeed USB 3.0 at 5 Gbps, though the highlights also note a 4.8 Gbps figure; it falls back to 480 Mbps on USB 2.0 hosts.
What physical clearance does the 0.5 m Type-A male-to-female cable need to fit?
Each cable is 0.5 m (1.64 ft) long with standard USB-A connectors, so allow that length plus room for the plug bodies on both ends.
How do I install the 3-pack extensions and what step do people often miss?
Plug the male Type-A end into the host port and the device into the female end; the common mistake is seating the connectors loosely, which drops the link to USB 2.0 speeds.
