USB 3.0 Type A extension cable, 30 cm

This blue extension cable has a USB 3.0 Type A male plug on one end and a female port on the other. It adds 30 cm of reach between a computer and a peripheral. The short length suits desk setups where a device cable falls just short of the port.

USB 3.0 bandwidth with USB 2.0 fallback

The cable carries USB 3.0 signals at up to 5 Gbps and falls back to USB 2.0 or 1.1 when connected to older ports. Performance is limited by the host controller and the attached device, not by the cable itself. No active electronics are present to boost signal integrity beyond the specified length.

Replaces a too-short device cable

Use this instead of coiling excess slack from a 1 m or 2 m lead. The jump is worth it when the gap is roughly a hand-span and a tidy, fixed-length link is preferred. It does not add hubs, power delivery or protocol conversion.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 30 cm or 12 inch length for my setup?

They are the same cable — 30 cm equals 12 inches — so either listing refers to the identical 30 cm blue USB 3.0 Type A male-to-female cord.

Will this cable deliver full USB 3.0 speed when I connect a drive to my laptop?

It supports the USB 3.0 interface and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1, so a USB 3.0 drive will run at USB 3.0 rates while older devices fall back to their native speeds.

What does the Type A male-to-female connector layout actually let me do?

The Type A plug goes into the computer and the Type A socket accepts a standard USB device, giving you a short 30 cm blue extension that works with USB 3.0, 2.0 and 1.1 ports.
