SMUGDESK

SMUGDESK USB 3.0 Extension Cable 0.5m 3-Pack Type A Male to A Female

SKU CH-M7BA-AKJXR

Three 0.5 m USB 3.0 Type A male-to-female cables extend device reach at up to 5 Gbps

  • Super-fast 5 Gbps data transfer with USB 3.0 speeds
  • Backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices
  • Extends USB connections by 0.5 metres for flexible placement
  • Shielded cable reduces radio and electromagnetic interference
  • Three cables in one pack for multiple devices

Three-Cable Pack for USB 3.0 Devices

This three-pack supplies 0.5-metre USB 3.0 Type A male-to-female extension cables. They suit home or office users who need extra reach for keyboards, card readers, printers or similar peripherals connected to a laptop or desktop PC. Each cable is new and ready for immediate use.

USB 3.0 Interface Limits

The cables operate at the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed rate of up to 5 Gbps, roughly ten times the 480 Mbps ceiling of USB 2.0. A dual-bus architecture lets USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 traffic run simultaneously, preserving backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. Signal shielding reduces radio and electromagnetic interference over the 0.5 m length.

Capacity and Practical Headroom

At 5 Gbps the link comfortably handles high-resolution webcams, external SSDs and fast card readers without saturating the bus. The short 0.5 m reach keeps latency low but will not span longer desk runs or rack distances. Buyers needing greater cable length or additional ports should look for active extenders or powered hubs.

Questions about this item

Should I buy the 3-pack or look for single cables?

The listing is a 3-pack of 0.5 m cables, giving three identical extensions for multiple ports or devices.

What does the 5 Gbps rating mean when I plug in a hard drive?

It is the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed ceiling; real-world throughput will be lower and depends on the drive, port and cable quality.

Does the Type A male-to-female connector limit me to USB 3.0 speeds?

The cable is USB 3.0 compliant and backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1, so it caps at the 5 Gbps SuperSpeed rate.
