Desktop USB 3.0 port extension

This five-foot cable adds a Type-A female port at the front of a desk so the host Type-A male port at the rear stays connected. It is intended for users who want convenient access for flash drives, peripherals or charging cables without reaching behind the chassis. The shielded twisted-pair construction supports the USB 3.0 signalling rate. The black jacket matches typical office equipment.

Check host port and device compatibility

Verify that the computer provides a standard USB Type-A receptacle; the cable will not fit Type-C or legacy Type-B sockets. Ensure the peripheral you plan to attach uses a Type-A plug and does not draw more current than the host port is rated to supply. The cable carries data and power lines but contains no active repeater or signal booster.

Sustained throughput with shielded wiring

The STP design reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference during long file transfers or continuous device operation. Signal integrity is maintained across the full five-foot run without the degradation seen on unshielded extensions. Performance remains stable under constant load rather than only in short bursts.

Questions about this item

Does the package include anything besides the single 5 ft black USB 3.0 Type A male-to-female cable?

No, the packaged quantity is one cable only; no extra adapters, brackets or mounting hardware are supplied.

Is the 5 ft length the only option for this model, or are other lengths sold under the same MPN?

The MPN USB3SEXT5DKB specifies a single 5 ft length; other lengths carry different part numbers.

What does the USB 3.0 rating mean for actual transfer speed when the cable is plugged into a desktop port?

It supports the USB 3.0 specification up to 5 Gbps, but real-world throughput depends on the host controller, device and file sizes.
