6 ft USB 3.0 Type-A Extension

This six-foot male-to-female cable extends an existing USB 3.0 Type-A connection by 6 ft while keeping the full 5 Gbps transfer rate. The nylon braided jacket resists tangles and the gold-plated contacts reduce corrosion for reliable daily use.

Suits users extending peripherals

It suits anyone who needs extra reach for flash drives, hard drives, card readers, printers, keyboards or game consoles without losing USB 3.0 speed. It is not for buyers who need a USB-C connector, a longer run than 6 ft, or a cable that carries video signals.

Male-to-female Type-A at 5 Gbps

The male-to-female Type-A layout and 5 Gbps signalling are the single specification that decides fit: plug it into a standard USB 3.0 Type-A port and the extension works at full speed, but it will not mate with USB-C ports or deliver display bandwidth.

Questions about this item

What USB Type-A port must my computer or console already have for this 6 ft extension cable to deliver 5 Gbps speeds?

The host needs a USB 3.0 Type-A port; plugging into a USB 2.0 port will limit transfer to 480 Mbps.

Will this male-to-female cable work with my older USB 2.0 flash drives and printers without losing their current performance?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible — USB 2.0 devices will operate at their normal 480 Mbps rate through the extension.

How can I verify the cable is running at full 5 Gbps after connecting it?

Check the OS device manager or system profiler; the link speed should show 5 Gbps (SuperSpeed) rather than 480 Mbps (High Speed).
