USB 3.0 A Male Extension Cable 3-Pack

This three-pack of USB 3.0 Type A male-to-female extension cables adds 1.6 ft of reach for peripherals such as hard drives, printers, mice, keyboards and hubs. They suit PC and Mac users who need to bring rear-panel ports within easy access without moving the computer. Each cable supports SuperSpeed USB 3.0 at up to 5 Gbps and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 hosts and devices.

Installation and common issues

The moulded strain-relief connectors and grip treads make plugging and unplugging straightforward even in tight spaces behind a desk or TV. Gold-plated contacts and foil-and-braid shielding reduce insertion errors and signal loss. The only common problem is expecting 5 Gbps throughput when the host or peripheral is limited to USB 2.0 speeds of 480 Mbps.

Sustained-load behaviour

Bare copper conductors and the shielded design maintain error-free transmission during long file transfers or continuous peripheral use. The cable does not amplify the signal, so total link length must stay within the USB 3.0 specification for reliable operation. It is not intended for buyers who need active signal boosting over longer runs.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the cable is delivering 5 Gbps after plugging it in?

Connect a USB 3.0 device and check the operating system reports a SuperSpeed connection; transfer a large file and confirm speeds far exceed the 480 Mbps USB 2.0 limit.

What comes in the pack and do I need any extra adapters?

The package contains three 1.6 ft USB 3.0 Type A male-to-female extension cables; no additional adapters are required for standard USB-A peripherals.

Which version should I choose if I only have USB 2.0 ports?

The same cables work — they are backward compatible with USB 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0, though transfer speed will be limited to the host port’s maximum.
