USB 3.0 Extension Coupler, A Male to A Female Adapter

A short adapter that buys a few extra centimetres where the socket is boxed in. One end is a USB 3.0 Type-A male plug, the other a Type-A female socket, so you can turn a socket buried behind a monitor, a console or a wall panel into one you can actually reach.

Data runs at SuperSpeed 5 Gbps and falls back cleanly to USB 2.0 and 1.1, which means it works as a plain extender for a keyboard, mouse, flash drive or card reader as well as for a fast external drive. Copper conductors carry the current, and the shell is available in gold or nickel plating.

Key features

• USB 3.0 Type-A male to Type-A female
• SuperSpeed data up to 5 Gbps
• Backward compatible with USB 3.0 / 2.0 / 1.1
• Copper conductor for conductivity and reliability
• High-density double shielding against EMI and RFI
• Plug and play; gold- or nickel-plated shell

Specifications

One point to confirm before you order. The factory sheet describes this part as a standard male-to-female extension and, in the same block, lists a Micro-B male connector as an alternative build — so the coupling you need is a choice, not a single fixed item. Tell us whether your project wants Type-A to Type-A or an A-to-Micro-B body and we will supply the matching variant.

Typical applications

• Reaching a USB socket buried behind a desk, TV or console
• Extending a flash drive, keyboard or card reader without a long cable
• Protecting the host socket from repeated plugging and unplugging
