SMUGDESK USB 3.0 A Male to Female Extension Cable 3.3 ft 3 Pack

USB 3.0 extension for hard-to-reach ports

This three-pack of USB 3.0 Type A male-to-female cables adds 3.3 ft of reach so peripherals can sit where they are convenient instead of behind a desk or television. Each cable supports SuperSpeed data transfer at up to 5 Gbps, which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0, while remaining backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. The gold-plated connectors, bare copper conductors and foil-and-braid shielding are designed for error-free transmission. Molded strain relief and grip treads make repeated plugging and unplugging easier.

Plug-and-play with strain-relief connectors

Installation is straightforward: connect the male end to the host port and attach the peripheral to the female end, with no drivers required. The molded strain-relief collars absorb bending stress at the connector junction, reducing the risk of intermittent contact that can occur when cables are pulled tight. Grip treads on the connector housings give fingers purchase for clean insertion and removal. Because the cables are passive, total bus length should stay within the USB 3.0 specification to avoid signal degradation.

5 Gbps bandwidth for drives, hubs and input devices

The cables comfortably handle external hard drives, USB hubs, flash drives, printers, mice and keyboards at full SuperSpeed rates. Charging and data sync occur simultaneously over the same connection. Very long daisy-chained runs or high-draw devices that exceed the host port's power budget may hit voltage-drop limits, so the 3.3 ft length is best suited to single extensions rather than cascaded setups.
