Flexible yet sturdy, this cable enhances workspace organization without compromising performance. ## Description From the manufacturer Moves your USB ports to where you want them USB ports on your computer, TV, external hard drive and other devices can be hard to reach. This extension cable brings the port to you. If the USB cable which you are using to connect two devices with eachother is just too short, this extension cable gives you the length you need. It is great for connecting flash drives and flip-out USB drives that you see on some camcorders. No more climbing under the desk If you’ve ever had to crawl on hands and knees to try to access USB ports behind your computer, you need this extension cable. The USB port can now come to you. What's more, the gold-plating protects against noise from electromagnetic and radio-frequency signals, keeping your signal clear with less loss of bandwidth. Durable - made for lots of connections We know that USB devices get plugged in and unplugged many, many times. Because of this fact, the extension cable has gold-plated connectors that protect the cable and the connectors. The desertcartBasics USB 3.0 Extension Cable supports the full USB 3.0 standard with up to 625-Mbps transmission speed, so you can take advantage of the full performance of your peripherals and devices. How it works Plug the male end of the cable into the USB port on your device (like your computer). Now you can plug in a USB cable from a device (like a camera) into the female end of the extension cord instead of the USB port. Extra things to know: Remember, this is an extension cable, not a USB cable. It's the same principle as when you plug a lamp into an electrical extension cable. You'll be connecting a device with an existing USB cable to this cable, and then this cable connects to the device with the USB port. Review: Clean, fast, and no signal drop—solid extension cable for desktop setups or tight spaces. - Straightforward bit of kit—adds reach without messing with speed. Supports full USB 3.0 transfer rates (up to 4.8Gbps), so no lag or bottleneck when using external drives, soundcards, or peripherals. Gold-plated connectors grip firm and don’t wobble, even with regular plug-ins. Cable’s flexible but not flimsy—doesn’t kink or twist up behind desks. Length is ideal for setups where ports are tucked away or awkward to reach. No signal loss, no faff—just plug in and go. Perfect for drivers, gamers, or anyone who wants clean cable management and reliable performance. Minor gripe: no clip or tie included—worth adding one if you want to keep it tidy. 👍 Pros ✅ Full USB 3.0 speed—up to 4.8Gbps ✅ 3m length—great for extended reach ✅ Gold-plated connectors—solid grip and durability ✅ Flexible cable—easy to route around setups ✅ Plug-and-play—no drivers or setup needed 👎 Cons ❌ No cable tie or clip included ❌ Not ideal for high-power charging—data use only ❌ Basic packaging—no extras Review: Excellent vaulue for money - works well in all respects - I'm a big fan of desertcart Basics products - so far for me they have represented value products which are well made and work well. This lead is no exception with nicely fitting connectors at each which provide just the right grip and insertion force when connecting up kit to give the user confidence. I'd recommend this product. ## Features - One 9.8-foot-long (3.0 meters) USB 3.0 A-Male to A-Female high-speed extension cable - Extends your USB 3.0 connection to your computer by 9.8 feet; for use with 3.0 enabled printers, cameras, mice, keyboards and other USB 3.0 computer peripherals - Constructed with corrosion-resistant, gold-plated connectors for optimal signal clarity and shielding to minimize interference - Enables throughput of up to 4.8Gbps when used with a USB 3.0 host and device - Distributed by desertcart; ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00NH12O5I | | Best Sellers Rank | 2,586 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 390 in USB Cables | | Brand | Amazon Basics | | Cable Type | USB | | Cable type | USB | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Amazon Tablet Models | Amazon Fire 5th Generation | | Compatible Devices | Printer | | Compatible Phone Models | Potentially compatible with smartphones, specific models unknown | | Compatible devices | Printer | | Compatible phone models | Potentially compatible with smartphones, specific models unknown | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connector Gender | Male-to-Female | | Connector Type | USB 3.0 | | Connector type | USB 3.0 | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 93,328 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 4.8 Gigabits Per Second | | Frequency | 4.8 GHz | | Gauge | Not applicable | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00848719055702 | | Included Components | usb cable | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Item Shape | Round | | Item Weight | 5.3 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Amazon Basics | | Manufacturer Part Number | YRRY | | Maximum Current | 3 Amps | | Maximum Voltage | 5 Volts | | Model Name | USB 3.0 Extension Cable Adapter Cord | | Model Number | YRRY | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pins | 4 | | Other Special Features of the Product | High Speed | | Recommended Uses For Product | Connect Devices | | Special feature | High Speed | | Specification Met | USB-IF | | UPC | 848719055702 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Amazon Basics - **Cable type:** USB - **Compatible devices:** Printer - **Connector type:** USB 3.0 - **Special feature:** High Speed ## Images ![USB-A 3.0 Extension Cable, 4.8Gbps High-Speed, Male to Female Gold-Plated Connectors, 3 m, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WBipm61FL.jpg) ![USB-A 3.0 Extension Cable, 4.8Gbps High-Speed, Male to Female Gold-Plated Connectors, 3 m, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KLO+WhVwL.jpg) ![USB-A 3.0 Extension Cable, 4.8Gbps High-Speed, Male to Female Gold-Plated Connectors, 3 m, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71TRJu8JSaL.jpg) ![USB-A 3.0 Extension Cable, 4.8Gbps High-Speed, Male to Female Gold-Plated Connectors, 3 m, Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719UsTtRZlL.jpg) ![USB-A 3.0 Extension Cable, 4.8Gbps High-Speed, Male to Female Gold-Plated Connectors, 3 m, Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AGUtCbqTL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I used this to connect an Anker 4 port hub but it does not pick up on the drives connected to hub any one have similar problem or recomend a cable** A: With mine, it isn't recognised unless I juggle it out a mm or two....try that? **Q: Would this item also extend the usb power supply** A: Yes, no problem.
