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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
