Extension cable for USB 3.0 Type A peripherals
This 5-foot USB 3.0 extension cable connects a Type A Male plug to a Type A Female port. It uses 22/28 AWG conductors with double foil shielding and a twisted-pair design to support SuperSpeed data rates up to 5 Gbps. The cable is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 hosts and devices. No drivers are required on Windows, Mac OS, Linux or Chrome OS.
Suited for extending keyboards, mice, printers.
The cable adds reach for standard USB Type A peripherals such as flash drives, card readers, external hard drives, keyboards, mice, printers and hubs. It works with PCs, Macs, Windows tablets and wall chargers that provide a Type A port. Buyers who need a different connector type such as Type C, Micro-B or Mini-B cannot use this cable. Buyers who require a longer passive run beyond the length supplied should look at active or powered alternatives.
SuperSpeed USB 3.0 up to 5 Gbps data transfer rate
The single specification that decides fit is the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 rating of up to 5 Gbps. This throughput is only achieved when both the host and the connected device support USB 3.0. With USB 2.0 equipment the link operates at 480 Mbps. Gold-plated connectors and foil-and-braid shielding are used to maintain signal integrity at the rated speed.

Questions about this item
How do I install the USB 3.0 A-Male to A-Female extension cable and what step do people often miss?
Plug the A-Male end into the host port and the A-Female end accepts your device; the step often missed is confirming both host and peripheral are USB 3.0 to achieve 5 Gbps instead of falling back to 480 Mbps.
What maintenance or replacement will this 22/28AWG cable need over time?
No scheduled maintenance is required; replace the cable only if the gold-plated connectors show wear, the foil-and-braid shielding is damaged, or sustained throughput drops below 5 Gbps.
What limit appears first during sustained transfers with this 5 Gbps-rated extension?
The practical ceiling is the 5 Gbps SuperSpeed rating; if either the host controller or the connected device operates at USB 2.0 speeds, throughput will be limited to 480 Mbps.
