About this product

Need to extend the reach of your USB 3.0 device — like an external SSD, 4K webcam, or USB 3.0 hub — without dropping to USB 2.0 speed? This Cable Leader SuperSpeed USB 3.0 USB-A extension cable adds reach to any existing USB-A SuperSpeed device while maintaining the full 5 Gbps data rate. Built with shielded conductors to maintain signal integrity over the extended length — a critical difference from cheap extensions that drop to USB 2.0 speeds and fail with high-bandwidth devices. Compatible with USB 3.0 external SSDs, 4K webcams (Logitech Brio, OBSBOT), USB 3.0 hubs, USB 3.0 hard drive enclosures, gigabit ethernet adapters, and professional capture cards. Best for: extending USB 3.0 SuperSpeed reach without losing speed. Not for: extension beyond 16 ft (use active extension cable). RoHS compliant.

Features

  • Extend USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Without Dropping to USB 2.0

    Adds reach to any USB 3.0 device — external SSD, 4K webcam, hub, or hard drive — while maintaining the full 5 Gbps SuperSpeed data rate. A notable difference from extension cables that drop to USB 2.0 speeds and may reduce throughput for 4K webcams or large file transfer with external SSDs.

  • 5 Gbps SuperSpeed — Double-Shielded for Extended Connection

    Built to USB 3.0 SuperSpeed specification with shielded cable construction that maintains signal integrity at 5 Gbps over the extended cable length. Copper wire ensures stable bus power for connected SSDs, webcams, and bus-powered USB 3.0 devices. Backward compatible with USB 2.0.

  • Compatible with USB 3.0 Devices — Not for Long-Distance Runs

    Works with USB 3.0 external SSDs, 4K webcams (Logitech Brio, OBSBOT), USB 3.0 hubs, hard drive enclosures, gigabit ethernet adapters. Quick check: Extending external SSD or 4K webcam — Yes. USB 3.0 hub or hard drive extension — Yes. Extension beyond 16 ft — No, use active USB 3.0 extension. USB-C device — No, use USB-C extension instead. For extensions beyond 16 ft, use an active USB 3.0 extension cable.

  • Double-Shielded Build — Built for Daily Workstation Use

    Standard USB 3.0 male and female connectors fit any USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port (backward compatible). Built with shielded cable construction, gold-plated contacts, and fully molded connector shells with reinforced strain relief. Designed for daily desk use: behind-monitor routing, workstation extension, and KVM cable management.

  • Sample-Tested Production — Cable Leader Direct Support

    Each cable is sample-tested during production for continuity, current rating, and data integrity. Manufactured to RoHS environmental standards (lead, mercury, and cadmium-free). If your cable arrives defective or stops working in normal use, Cable Leader handles replacement requests directly — no manufacturer redirects.
