Extension cable for USB 3.0 peripherals
This 10 ft black cable carries USB 3.0 signals from a host port to a female Type-A receptacle. It lets you place webcams, VR headsets, printers, hard drives and other peripherals farther from the computer than the stock lead allows. The male-to-female layout keeps the original connector gender intact.
Replaces short factory leads when distance matters
Swap the supplied 1 m or 2 m cable for this 10 ft run when the device sits across a desk, on a wall mount or in a sim rig. The jump is worth it whenever the stock cable pulls tight, blocks airflow or forces the PC into an awkward spot. Backwards compatibility means USB 2.0 gear works without change.
Sustained 5 Gbps throughput with shielding
Gold-plated contacts, bare copper conductors and combined foil-and-braid shielding preserve signal integrity over the full length. Molded strain relief and grip treads reduce connector fatigue during repeated plug cycles. The construction targets error-free transfer during long VR sessions, large file copies or continuous video streaming.

Questions about this item
What USB connector and cable length does this extension use?
The cable has a USB Type-A 3.0 male connector on one end and a USB Type-A 3.0 female connector on the other, with a total length of 10.00 feet.
How do I install it and what is the common mistake to avoid?
Plug the male end into the host port and your device into the female end; the common mistake is exceeding the 10-foot passive limit, which can cause signal drop-out on high-bandwidth devices.
What maintenance or replacement should I expect over time?
The gold-plated connectors and moulded strain relief resist wear, but if intermittent connection appears, replace the cable — passive copper extensions cannot be repaired.
