Six-foot USB 3.0 extension

This six-foot cable extends a USB 3.0 Type-A connection between two devices or between a device and a hub. The male-to-male layout lets you bridge a host port and a peripheral port without adapters. Blue connectors identify the SuperSpeed interface at a glance. It suits technicians and hobbyists who need extra reach for external drives, docks or test equipment.

Fits between two Type-A ports

The cable plugs directly into any standard USB 3.0 Type-A receptacle on a PC, laptop, hub or peripheral. Shielded construction helps maintain signal integrity over the full length. No external power or driver installation is required; the link negotiates speed automatically. It frees up desk space by letting you position devices farther from the host.

Handles 5 Gbit/s SuperSpeed transfers

The USB 3.0 rating supports up to 5 Gbit/s throughput for compatible storage and accessories. Performance holds across the six-foot run thanks to the shielded design. Bandwidth drops to USB 2.0 levels if either endpoint lacks a 3.0 controller. The cable does not carry video or alternate-mode signals.

Questions about this item

Does the 6 ft length of this USB 3.0 cable affect signal quality?

The 6 ft length meets USB 3.0 specification limits, so signal quality is maintained for SuperSpeed data transfer.

Does the cable generate noticeable heat during continuous high-speed transfers?

Passive copper cables of this type do not generate measurable heat during normal operation.

Do both connected devices need USB 3.0 Type-A ports for this cable to work?

Yes, each end requires a 9-pin USB 3.0 Type-A port — one male, one female — to achieve SuperSpeed rates.
