USB Extension Cable ShiverPeaks 3.0 A Connector Optical 30-35085 - USB Type A, extension cable

ShiverPeaks USB Extension Cable 3.0 A Connector Optical (model 30-35085) is a USB Type A extension cable designed to extend USB connections between host devices and peripherals. It provides a straight USB Type A male-to-female extension for data and power, enabling additional reach for keyboards, mice, external storage and other USB peripherals in desktop or home office environments. The cable supports USB 3.0 signaling and is intended for situations where a longer, reliable physical connection is required without changing the original device ports.

Advantages

The cable maintains USB 3.0 data rates while offering a longer physical connection, reducing the need to reposition devices. Its Type A male-to-female configuration makes it compatible with a wide range of standard USB peripherals and host ports. The optical element incorporated in the cable is intended to preserve signal integrity over extended lengths and to minimize interference compared with simple copper-only extensions. The design supports both data transfer and device power delivery appropriate for typical peripheral use.

Suitable for

• Extending connection to external hard drives and flash storage devices
• Providing additional reach for keyboards and mice in desktop and home office setups
• Connecting USB peripherals placed at a distance from the computer or hub
• Temporary or permanent extension where the original USB cable length is insufficient

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB Type A male to USB Type A female
• USB standard: USB 3.0 signaling (backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1)
• Function: data and power extension for peripherals
• Cable length: designed for extended reach (refer to product label for exact length)
• Signal transmission: hybrid copper/optical architecture to preserve integrity over longer runs

How to use

Connect the male USB Type A plug of the extension cable to the host computer or hub’s available USB Type A port. Plug the peripheral’s original USB Type A connector into the female end of the extension cable. Ensure connections are fully seated to maintain reliable data transfer and power delivery. The cable will operate with connected peripherals without additional drivers; verify that the host’s USB port supports the device’s power requirements if using power-hungry peripherals.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid sharp bends and strong mechanical stress near connector ends. Use ports that provide sufficient power for connected devices, and if you experience reduced speeds, try connecting to a USB 3.0 port directly on the host rather than through multiple hubs. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources to minimize interference.
