USB 3.0 Extension Cable A to A M/F

This StarTech.com cable adds up to six feet of reach to an existing USB 3.0 connection using a male-to-female Type-A layout. It supports the SuperSpeed 5 Gbps data rate for fast file transfers and peripheral communication. The black copper construction is built for reliable daily use with printers, scanners, external drives and other USB 3.0 devices. No drivers or external power are required for operation.

Suitable for extending device reach within six feet

The cable suits setups where a printer, scanner or hard drive sits just beyond the host port's standard cable length. It maintains full USB 3.0 bandwidth for compatible hardware. Users needing longer runs, active signal boosting or USB-C connectors should look at other solutions. This passive copper design does not support power delivery beyond standard USB 3.0 limits.

Behaviour under sustained load

During continuous high-throughput transfers the passive copper link delivers stable 5 Gbps signalling across the full six-foot span. Signal integrity remains consistent without the latency spikes sometimes seen on longer passive cables. The fixed length avoids the negotiation overhead that can occur with chained extensions. Thermal output stays negligible because no active circuitry is present.

Questions about this item

Does my computer need a USB 3.0 port for this extension cable to work?

The cable is built to the 3.0 specification, so a USB 3.0 port on the host is required to reach the 5Gbps data rate; it will fall back to slower speeds on older ports.

Can I use this cable with a USB 2.0 printer I already own?

Yes, the male Type-A connector fits a USB 2.0 port and the female end accepts the printer's plug, but the link will run at USB 2.0 speeds rather than 5Gbps.

How can I confirm the extension is running at 5Gbps after I plug it in?

On Windows open Device Manager, locate the attached device under Universal Serial Bus controllers and check that its reported speed shows SuperSpeed or 5Gbps.
