Extension cable for USB 3.0 devices

This Type A male-to-female cable adds 6.56 ft of reach for peripherals such as VR headsets, consoles, flash drives, hard drives, keyboards, printers and scanners. It works with USB 3.0, 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 hosts and requires no driver installation. The connectors are gold-plated and rated for more than 10000 insertions.

Sustained throughput and shielding

Copper conductors with foil and braid shielding protect the signal from EMI and RFI interference during long transfers. The USB 3.0 link runs at up to 5Gbps when both ends support the standard, falling back to 480 Mbps on USB 2.0 ports. The braided metal wire core keeps the cable flexible while resisting pull and drag.

Length and backward-compatibility limits

At 6.56 ft the cable stays within the practical range for USB 3.0 signalling without an active repeater. Performance is limited by the host controller; a USB 2.0 port will cap throughput at 480 Mbps regardless of the cable rating. The PVC jacket resists abrasion but the assembly is not rated for in-wall or outdoor use.

Questions about this item

Will the 6.56 ft length cause signal loss or extra heat when I run a hard drive all day?

The cable uses copper conductors with foil and braid shielding to maintain the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 rate over 6.56 ft without active electronics, so it adds no measurable heat.

Does my computer need a USB 3.0 Type-A port for this extender to work?

Yes, the male plug is USB 3.0 Type-A; the host must provide a matching Type-A port, though the cable will fall back to USB 2.0 or 1.1 speeds if only those ports are available.

Can I keep using my USB 2.0 printer and scanner through this 3.0 extension cable?

The cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 devices, so older printers and scanners will operate at their native speeds without drivers.
