IOGEAR G2LU3AMF USB 3.0 Extension Cable Male to Female 12

12-inch USB 3.0 extension

This 12-inch cable extends a USB 3.0 Type-A connection between a host and a peripheral. It suits users who need a short reach increase for hubs, docking stations or other devices without adding cable clutter. The male-to-female layout plugs directly into an existing port.

Fits tight spaces and hubs

The compact length works inside cramped drive bays, behind monitors or alongside laptop docks where a full-length cable would coil awkwardly. It keeps the downstream device firmly seated while freeing the host port from sideways strain. Backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1 lets older peripherals share the same link.

Steady 5 Gbps throughput

Rated for up to 5 Gbps, the link maintains SuperSpeed rates during sustained file transfers rather than only in brief bursts. The short run limits signal attenuation, so throughput stays consistent across long copy jobs. No active electronics are required, so latency remains negligible under continuous load.
