USB 3.0 A to A Extension Cable VivoLink PROKEYUSB3AFM5W White 5 m

VivoLink PROKEYUSB3AFM5W is a white USB 3.0 A‑to‑A extension cable with a 5 m length designed to extend existing USB A connections while preserving high-speed data transfer capabilities. The cable supports USB 3.0 data rates and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, enabling longer reach for peripherals, external drives, hubs and other USB A equipment without relocating hardware.

Advantages

The cable provides consistent USB 3.0 performance over a 5 m span while remaining compatible with older USB standards. Its A‑to‑A connectors allow straightforward extension of host-to-device wiring where extra length is required. The white outer jacket offers a neutral aesthetic suitable for office and home environments, and the construction reduces the need for additional adapters or replacements of existing devices.

Suitable for

• Extending connections to external hard drives and SSD enclosures
• Lengthening cable runs for USB hubs and docking stations
• Connecting peripherals such as keyboards, mice and webcams when extra reach is needed
• Temporary or fixed setups where the original device cable is too short

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB A male to USB A female (A‑to‑A extension)
• Standard: USB 3.0 with backward compatibility to USB 2.0 and USB 1.1
• Maximum length: 5 metres
• Color: white
• Primary use: data transfer and peripheral extension

How to use

Insert the male USB A plug into the host device or existing cable end and connect the female USB A receptacle to the peripheral or device cable that requires extension. Ensure connectors are fully seated to maintain optimal data transfer rates. For best results, avoid sharp bends, kinks or heavy strain at the connector ends and route the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

To preserve USB 3.0 speeds over the 5 m extension, use with cables and devices that support SuperSpeed USB and avoid daisy-chaining multiple passive extensions. If longer or powered extension is required, consider an active extension or a powered USB hub to maintain stable performance.
