USB 3.0 extension for desktop ports

The UGREEN cable adds three metres to a USB 3.0 connection using a male Type-A plug and a female Type-A receptacle. Gold-plated contacts and a braided jacket protect signal integrity at the rated 5 Gbps speed. Backward compatibility keeps older USB 2.0 and 1.0 devices working without configuration. The extension lets you relocate ports to a convenient spot on the desk.

Suits users with rear-mounted or crowded ports

Builders who need to bring a keyboard, mouse, printer or external drive forward will appreciate the extra reach. The male-to-female layout does not convert connector types, so devices requiring Micro-USB, USB-C or other interfaces cannot be attached directly. Buyers wanting a longer charge-only cable or a different connector gender should look at something else.

5 Gbps SuperSpeed rating

The cable is certified for USB 3.0 SuperSpeed at 5 Gbps, ten times the throughput of USB 2.0. This single figure determines whether bandwidth-heavy peripherals such as external SSDs or docking stations will run at full performance over the extended length. If the connected device demands higher throughput, the link will become the bottleneck.

Questions about this item

What type of USB port does the 3 m cable plug into?

The cable has a USB 3.0 Type-A male connector that fits a standard Type-A port.

How do I connect the cable without damaging the gold-plated terminals?

Align the male plug with the port, insert straight until it clicks, and pull the connector body — not the braided cable — when removing.

When should I replace the extension cable?

Replace it if the braided jacket frays, the connectors become loose, or data transfer drops below the rated 5 Gbps speed.
