USB 3.0 extension cable 3 ft

This male-to-female USB Type A cable extends the reach between a computer or Windows tablet and USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 peripherals such as VR headsets, hard drives, hubs, mice, keyboards, flash drives and printers. It is built for users who need extra cable length without replacing existing devices.

Gold-plated connectors and shielding

Gold-plated contacts, bare copper conductors, foil and braid shielding plus a PVC jacket work together to maintain signal integrity at 5 Gbps. The construction reduces interference and supports error-free data transfer while remaining backward compatible with USB 2.0 equipment.

Molded strain relief and grip treads

Connectors feature molded strain relief for durability and grip treads for easy plugging and unplugging. The 3 ft length suits desktop setups where the host port is out of reach, though builders who need longer runs or active signal boosting will need a different solution.

Questions about this item

Will the gold-plated connectors need any cleaning or replacement over time?

The gold-plated connectors resist corrosion and do not require scheduled cleaning or replacement under normal use.

What is the maximum cable length before the 5 Gbps signal degrades?

This cable is 3.00 ft long and rated for the full 5 Gbps SuperSpeed rate; longer passive runs may need an active extender.

Does the cable get warm or draw extra power when used continuously with a VR headset?

The bare copper conductors and foil and braid shielding handle sustained 5 Gbps traffic without noticeable heat rise or additional power draw.
