USB 3.0 Type-A extension cable

This one-metre cable adds reach between a host USB 3.0 Type-A port and a peripheral with a matching Type-A plug. It suits desktop users who need to route a device behind a monitor or across a workstation without moving the computer.

Male-to-female layout for straight-through

The male plug inserts into the host while the female port accepts the existing device cable, preserving the original connector orientation. No additional adapters or hubs are required and the single cable keeps cable management simple.

Passive design draws no extra power

The extension carries the standard USB 3.0 5 Gbit/s signal without active circuitry, so it adds no measurable heat or noise to the system. Power delivery remains limited to the host port specification.

Questions about this item

Will the 5 Gbps speed hold over the full 3.28 ft length?

Yes, the cable is built to the USB 3.0 specification, so the 5 Gbps rate is maintained across the full 3.28 ft run.

Does the cable get warm or draw extra power during all-day transfers?

It is a passive copper cable with no active electronics, so it adds no measurable heat or power draw during continuous use.

What port must my device already have for this male-to-female cable to work?

Your host or hub needs a standard USB Type-A female port to accept the male plug, and your peripheral needs a Type-A male connector to plug into the female end.
