Extension length and connector type

This three-foot cable adds reach to a USB 3.0 Type-A link by connecting a male plug to a female port. It suits anyone who needs to bridge a short gap between a host device and a peripheral without moving either one.

Backwards compatibility and signal integrity

The cable works with USB 2.0 devices as well as USB 3.0, so older equipment remains usable. In normal use it carries data and power without adding active electronics that would draw extra current or generate heat.

Build integration and port relief

Because it extends an existing Type-A connection, the cable lets you route the link around obstacles or bring a port to a more convenient spot. It requires no driver installation and occupies no additional host ports beyond the one it plugs into.

Questions about this item

How do I plug the blue USB 3.0 A-male end into my computer port without forcing it?

Align the rectangular A-male connector with the A-female port on your device, insert it straight until it seats fully, and avoid tilting the plug — the keyed shape only fits one way.

Will the gold-plated contacts or the blue PVC jacket need any cleaning or replacement over time?

The connectors are passive metal contacts and the jacket is fixed moulded PVC; neither is serviceable, so if the cable becomes damaged you replace the whole assembly.

At what point does signal loss appear when I chain this three-foot extension with other cables?

The USB 3.0 specification limits total bus length, so adding this three-foot extension to an existing cable may push the combined run past the reliable distance and cause drop-outs.
