Extension cable pack for desktop peripherals

This three-pack of USB 3.0 Type A male-to-female cables adds 1.6 ft of reach so printers, scanners, hubs and flash drives can sit where you want them. Each cable carries both data and charging current, letting you move devices away from the back of a PC or smart TV without unplugging the host port repeatedly.

Practical limits of the USB 3.0 interface

The cables support the USB 3.0 specification at up to 5 Gbps, which is ten times the throughput of USB 2.0, while remaining fully backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. Gold-plated connectors, bare copper conductors and foil-plus-braid shielding preserve signal integrity at that rate, and molded strain relief with grip treads withstand frequent insertion cycles.

Capacity and headroom for everyday workloads

At SuperSpeed rates the extension comfortably handles hard drives, card readers and high-throughput hubs without hysteresis or data loss. The 1.6 ft length is suited to desk-top routing; longer runs would exceed the passive-cable limit defined by the USB 3.0 standard, so buyers needing greater distance should consider an active repeater or powered hub instead.

What does the 5 Gbps headline speed deliver in real use?

It supports SuperSpeed USB 3.0 transfers up to 5 Gbps, so large files move noticeably faster than on USB 2.0 while staying backwards compatible.
