Vention USB 3.0 A Male to A Female Extension Cable 3M Black PVC Type CBHBI

The Vention USB 3.0 A Male to A Female Extension Cable extends USB connectivity across longer distances while maintaining SuperSpeed data transfer rates. This 3-meter black cable is perfect for students reaching distant wall outlets with charging cables and businesses positioning peripherals away from computer towers where built-in USB cables fall short. The extension design preserves full USB 3.0 performance without signal degradation.

Key Features & Benefits

• 3-Meter Extended Reach: Bridges the gap between computers and peripherals positioned across desks, rooms, or workstations, eliminating the need to relocate equipment or purchase entirely new longer cables for existing devices.
• SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Maintained: Preserves full 5 Gbps data transfer speeds across the entire 3-meter length, ensuring external hard drives, webcams, and other peripherals perform at their maximum rated speeds without bottlenecks.
• Universal Extension Compatibility: Works with any USB device including keyboards, mice, flash drives, printers, webcams, game controllers, charging cables, and more—simply plug your existing cable into the female end.
• Premium Copper Construction: High-purity oxygen-free copper conductors minimize signal loss over the extended distance, while triple-layer shielding prevents electromagnetic interference from degrading data transmission quality.
• Plug-and-Play Extension: Requires no drivers, software, or configuration—simply connect between your computer’s USB port and your existing device cable to instantly extend your reach by 3 meters.

Use Cases & Applications

For Students: Students in dorm rooms can extend USB charging cables to reach beds or desks positioned far from wall outlets, keeping phones and tablets charged during study sessions. The Vention extension cable allows students to position external hard drives on shelves away from laptops while maintaining fast USB 3.0 transfer speeds for accessing large file libraries. Students using USB webcams for online classes can mount cameras at optimal angles across rooms while extending connectivity back to laptops on desks. Gaming students benefit when connecting controllers, racing wheels, or flight sticks positioned for comfortable gameplay while computers remain at safe distances. The 3-meter length accommodates spacious dorm configurations or shared apartments where device placement flexibility improves ergonomics and organization.

For Business Environments: Office workstations use this cable to position printers, scanners, or document cameras on shared equipment tables while connecting to desktop computers under desks or across cubicle partitions. Reception areas extend USB connectivity from front-desk computers to badge printers, barcode scanners, or payment terminals positioned at counter edges for customer accessibility. Conference rooms route USB connections from centralized AV equipment racks to table-mounted document cameras or presentation switchers without visible cable strain. Retail environments extend point-of-sale peripherals like receipt printers and card readers away from cramped register areas to more accessible positions. IT departments use these extension cables when deploying USB security keys, biometric readers, or authentication devices that need positioning at ergonomic heights near monitors rather than down at tower locations.

Additional Applications: Home offices extend USB hubs away from desktop towers to desk surfaces where peripherals connect more conveniently without reaching behind computers. Content creators position USB microphones, audio interfaces, or MIDI controllers at optimal recording distances while maintaining connections to computers positioned separately for noise isolation. Photographers extend tethered camera connections during studio shoots, allowing greater movement flexibility while maintaining live-view functionality on editing workstations. Gaming enthusiasts route VR sensor cables or racing simulator peripherals across entertainment rooms to proper positions without relocating entire PC setups. The Vention extension cable suits home theater systems where USB-powered devices like streaming sticks, bias lighting, or cooling fans need power from TV USB ports positioned awkwardly behind mounted displays. Hobbyists working with 3D printers, CNC machines, or electronics projects use this cable to maintain comfortable distances between control computers and equipment generating heat, noise, or vibration.
