EN-Labs USB 3.0 A-Male to A-Female Extension Cable Blue 1.5m

USB 3.0 A-to-A extension cable for desktop users

This EN-Labs cable adds 1.5 metres of reach between a computer or Windows tablet and USB 3.0 or 2.0 peripherals such as hard drives, hubs, mice, keyboards, flash drives and printers. The blue jacket makes it easy to spot in a tangle of cords. It supports the 5 Gbps SuperSpeed rate while remaining fully backward compatible with older devices. Two connectors — a male plug and a female port — complete the link.

Suits anyone who needs extra length

Buyers who require a USB-C connection or a different connector type will not be able to use this cable. It also does not serve users who need lengths shorter or longer than the single 1.5 metre option supplied. The cable is strictly a passive extension, so it cannot amplify signals beyond the standard distance limits.

5 Gbps SuperSpeed data rate

This is the decisive specification: the cable is rated for up to 5 Gbps transfer speed, which is ten times the 2.0 ceiling. If your workflow depends on that bandwidth — moving large files from an external drive, for example — the cable meets the requirement. If you only need 2.0 speeds, the cable still works but the extra headroom goes unused.
