SMUGDESK USB 3.0 2.0 A Male to A Male Extension Cable 10Ft 3-Pack

Three-pack 10 ft USB 3.0 A-to-A extension

This three-pack supplies three 10 ft USB 3.0 Type A male-to-male cables for extending the reach of peripherals such as external hard drives, printers, cameras, hubs and VR headsets. Each cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports, so it works with a wide range of existing laptops, desktops and accessories. Nickel-plated connectors and foil-and-braid shielding aim to preserve signal clarity over the full length. The plug-and-play design requires no drivers or configuration.

Upgrades short or worn factory cables

The 10 ft length replaces the shorter cables that typically ship with hard-drive enclosures, cooling pads, set-top boxes and similar devices, letting you position equipment farther from the host without signal degradation. The jump is worth it when the stock cable is too short for your desk layout, when a connector has become unreliable, or when you need spare cables for multiple workstations. USB 3.0 compliance on both the source and the peripheral is required to reach the 5 Gbps rate; otherwise the link falls back to USB 2.0 or 1.1 speeds.

Fits standard Type A ports on hosts and peripherals

Each end plugs directly into a USB 3.0 Type A port on a computer, laptop, hub, monitor, modem, Blu-ray drive, 2.5-inch drive enclosure or similar device, freeing you from the constraints of short factory leads. The male-to-male wiring extends an existing connection rather than converting between different connector types, so both sides must present a Type A socket. No external power or software is needed; the cable draws bus power and handles data simultaneously.
