LUOM USBAM2M USB 3.0 A Male to A Male Cable 1.6Ft 3-Pack

Three-pack USB 3.0 A-to-A extension cables

This three-pack provides three 1.6 ft USB 3.0 Type A male-to-male cables for extending existing USB connections. Each cable supports SuperSpeed data rates up to 5 Gbps and is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. The construction uses bare copper conductors with foil and braid shielding plus nickel-plated connectors for signal integrity. No drivers are required; the cables are plug-and-play.

Check your devices have USB Type A ports

Verify that both the host and the peripheral you want to connect expose a USB Type A receptacle, because these cables carry Type A plugs on both ends. They will not fit USB Type C, Micro-B, Mini-B or proprietary ports without a separate adapter. Confirm the peripheral is a standard USB device such as a hard-drive enclosure, hub, camera, monitor or cooling pad rather than a host-to-host link, which this cable type does not support. The 1.6 ft length suits short-range extensions; measure the gap before ordering.

Replaces shorter or USB 2.0 A-to-A cables

These cables replace shorter A-to-A leads or older USB 2.0 versions when you need extra reach without losing SuperSpeed performance. The jump is worth it if your current cable limits placement of a 2.5-inch drive enclosure, laptop cooler, smart TV peripheral or similar device and you require the full 5 Gbps throughput. They do not add new ports or convert between connector types, so buyers needing additional ports or different connectors should look elsewhere.
