USB 3.0 SuperSpeed extension cable
This 16-foot USB 3.0 Type-A extension cable connects a host device to USB-A peripherals such as keyboards, printers, portable hard drives or patch panels. It adds reach between a computer, laptop, Chromebook or Surface Pro tablet and the attached equipment. The male-to-female design plugs into an existing USB 3.0 cable to extend the total run by 16 feet.
5 Gbps transfer rate with USB 2.0 backward
The cable supports SuperSpeed data rates up to 5 Gbps, which is 10 times the throughput of USB 2.0. It remains fully backward compatible with earlier USB generations so legacy devices continue to work. Bi-directional signalling lets data flow both ways simultaneously and Sync-N-Go technology detects connected hardware quickly.
Blue PVC jacket with molded strain relief
A blue outer jacket makes the cable easy to identify in a busy rack or desk setup. Molded connectors with integral strain relief protect the solder joints from repeated insertion cycles and accidental pulls. The 16-foot length gives installers flexibility to route the cable around furniture, through cable trays or across a room without needing an additional hub.

Questions about this item
Will the 16 ft SuperSpeed cable work reliably with my USB 2.0 printer?
Yes, the U324-016 is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and earlier generations, so it will operate at the printer's native speed.
How can I verify the link is running at SuperSpeed 5 Gbps after connecting?
Open the host system's device manager or system report and confirm the port shows a USB 3.0 SuperSpeed connection rather than High Speed.
Does the package include both male and female ends so nothing extra is needed?
The cable has a USB-A male plug on one end and a USB-A female port on the other, providing a complete extension without additional adapters.
