What this cable does

A 3 ft USB 3.0 extension cable with a male-to-female Type-A connector extends the reach between a host computer or tablet and USB 3.0 or 2.0 peripherals. It supports data rates up to 5 Gbps and is compatible with VR headsets, hard drives, hubs, mice, keyboards, flash drives, printers and more.

Check before ordering

Verify that both your host port and the device connector are USB Type-A. The cable adds 3 ft of length, so confirm the extra distance fits your desk or room layout. It carries power for charging phones or tablets, but total power delivery still depends on the host port and the device’s own requirements.

Replaces shorter or older cables

This cable upgrades a standard 3 ft USB 2.0 lead by delivering 10x the bandwidth while keeping full backward compatibility. The jump is worthwhile when you need reliable 5 Gbps throughput for VR, external storage or high-speed hubs without moving the host device.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need any extra adapters for my USB-A devices?

The box contains the 3 ft USB 3.0 male-to-female extension cable with gold-plated USB Type-A connectors. No extra adapters are required; it plugs directly into any standard USB-A port.

Should I choose a different length or speed version for my VR headset?

This model is the 3 ft, 5 Gbps version. Longer passive cables may not meet the 5 Gbps signal requirements for VR headsets, so the 3 ft length is the recommended choice for reliable SuperSpeed performance.

Will I actually see 5 Gbps throughput when I connect my external SSD through this cable?

The cable is built with bare copper conductors, foil and braid shielding, and gold-plated contacts to support the full 5 Gbps SuperSpeed rate. Real-world speed will depend on your host controller, drive and port, but the cable itself does not limit the connection below 5 Gbps.
