USB 3.0 extension with power switch

This one-foot USB 3.0 extension cable adds a built-in on/off switch that cuts both power and data to the connected device. It supports transfer rates up to 5Gbps while delivering power to USB peripherals. The toggle lets you disable a webcam, microphone, fan or LED light without unplugging the cable. Ideal for users who want quick physical control over a single USB device.

Check port type and cable reach

Verify that your host and peripheral both use USB Type-A connectors, because this cable does not adapt to USB-C or Lightning ports. Confirm that one foot of length is sufficient for your desk layout; longer runs will require a different cable. The switch is inline, so ensure there is space to access it easily. No driver installation is needed for the switching function.

Switch adds privacy and convenience

The integrated switch disconnects power and data instantly, which stops a webcam or microphone from streaming when you are not using it. It also lets you turn off USB-powered fans or lights without reaching for a wall outlet or software control. The cable carries both data and power, so charging and syncing continue normally when the switch is on. No extra software or adapters are included.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and is anything else needed to use the cable?

The package includes the 1 ft USB 3.0 extension cable with a built-in on/off switch. No extra parts are required; plug the Type-A connector into the host and the device into the other end.

Should I choose the 1 ft version or the 6 ft version listed for this model?

The 1 ft length keeps the cable short and tidy for desktop peripherals, while the 6 ft option gives more reach for devices placed further from the computer.

What does the 5Gbps rating mean when the cable is connected to a real computer?

The cable supports USB 3.0 speeds up to 5Gbps, so compatible drives and peripherals can transfer data at that rate provided the host port and device also support USB 3.0.
