LUOM USB 3.0 Extension Cable Male to Female 1.6ft 3-Pack

Three-pack USB 3.0 extension set

This pack supplies three 1.6 ft USB 3.0 Type A male-to-female cables for extending the reach of peripherals from a computer, Windows tablet, TV or games console. Each cable supports SuperSpeed data transfer up to 5 Gbps and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 hosts and devices. Gold-plated connectors, bare copper conductors and foil-and-braid shielding are designed to deliver error-free transmission. Molded strain relief and grip treads make plugging and unplugging easier while protecting the host ports from wear.

Users needing longer reach or different connectors

The 1.6 ft length suits setups where the device sits close to the host, such as a desktop hub, keyboard, mouse or flash drive just behind the monitor. Buyers who need to bridge larger distances across a room, or who require USB-C, Micro-B or other connector types, should look at alternative cable designs. The male-to-female configuration also means this pack cannot directly join two host ports or two peripheral ports.

5 Gbps SuperSpeed USB 3.0 rating

The decisive specification is the 5 Gbps SuperSpeed USB 3.0 data rate, which is ten times the 480 Mbps ceiling of USB 2.0. When both host and peripheral support USB 3.0, large files such as HD movies transfer in seconds; if either end is limited to USB 2.0 or earlier, the link falls back to the slower bus speed automatically.
