Extension reach

This six-foot USB 3.0 Type-A male-to-female cable extends the connection between a host port and a peripheral. The 32 AWG conductors and TPE jacket keep the cable supple for routing behind desks or along skirting boards. It suits users who need extra length for mice, keyboards, printers or flash drives without moving the computer.

Build integration

The male plug inserts into any standard USB 3.0 Type-A port while the female receptacle accepts the device’s own Type-A connector. No driver installation or external power is required, so the cable adds reach without occupying additional ports or PCIe lanes. Its slim profile fits tight gaps where bulkier cables would not.

Sustained operation

The thinner 32 AWG wires meet the USB 3.0 specification for data and power delivery over the full 1.8288-metre run. Signal integrity holds during long file transfers or continuous peripheral use because the cable is built to the standard’s electrical limits. The TPE jacket resists kinking and abrasion when the cable is left in a fixed route.

Questions about this item

Will the 32 AWG conductors limit bandwidth on a USB 3.0 link?

The cable meets USB 3.0 specifications; the 32 AWG gauge is rated for the standard 5 Gbps superspeed transfer rate.

Does the TPE jacket stay cool during continuous file transfers?

The TPE jacket remains at ambient temperature because the cable carries only signal and standard USB power, not high current loads.

What port must my computer already have for this extension to work?

A standard USB 3.0 Type-A port is required to accept the male connector on this cable.
