Three USB 3.0 A-to-A extension cables

This pack contains three USB 3.0 extension cables, each with a Type A male connector on one end and a Type A female port on the other. They are designed to extend the reach of existing USB connections by 6.6 ft, making them useful for desk setups where the host port is far from the peripheral. The cables support USB 3.0 data rates and are backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. No drivers are required for operation on Windows or macOS.

Replacing short or fixed cables on printers.

The cables replace the short fixed leads that ship with many printers, external hard drives, webcams and VR headsets when the host port is out of reach. The jump is worth it when you need to route a connection behind a monitor, under a desk or across a room without moving the computer. They also avoid the signal degradation that can occur when chaining multiple passive cables together. The 5 Gbps bandwidth matches the native USB 3.0 specification for compatible devices.

Check port gender and device power needs before

Verify that the host side you are extending from is a USB Type A female port, because the cable plugs into it with a Type A male end. The peripheral you are connecting must also use a Type A male plug to mate with the female end of the extender. Bus-powered devices that draw close to the port current limit may experience voltage drop over the 6.6 ft length, so confirm the peripheral has its own power supply if it is a high-draw hard drive or hub.

Questions about this item

Does the Type A male plug fit a standard USB 3.0 port on a PC or laptop?

Yes, the male Type A connector fits any standard USB 3.0 Type A port and is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports.

What is the correct way to connect the cable so the extender works?

Plug the male end into the host computer or hub, then attach your peripheral to the female end; reversing the ends will not extend the connection.

Will the gold-plated contacts need cleaning or the cable need replacing after heavy use?

The gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and the shielded PVC jacket is rated for repeated bending, so no scheduled maintenance or replacement is required under normal use.
