USB extension cable ShiverPeaks 3.0 with A connector — model 30-35485, USB 3.0 data extension

The USB extension cable ShiverPeaks 3.0 with A connector (model 30-35485) extends USB Type-A connections while preserving USB 3.0 data transfer and power delivery capabilities. This cable is designed to increase the distance between a host device and USB-A peripherals such as external drives, printers and other USB-A accessories without changing the connection type. The construction supports standard USB 3.0 speeds and is intended for desktop and mobile setups where extra cable length is needed.

Advantages

The cable maintains USB 3.0 signal integrity for data and power transmission, enabling continued use of high-speed external storage and peripherals. Its USB Type-A male-to-female layout makes it compatible with a wide range of USB-A devices and host ports without requiring adapters. The design is straightforward and easy to deploy in home or office environments to extend reach and improve accessibility of connected devices.

Suitable for

• Extending connections for external hard drives and SSD enclosures
• Connecting printers, scanners and other desktop peripherals located away from the host
• Providing additional reach for USB hubs and docking stations
• Temporary or semi-permanent cable extension in home or office setups

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the USB Type-A male end of the extension cable into the USB port of the host device (computer, laptop or hub) and connect the USB Type-A plug of your peripheral to the female receptacle on the extension cable. Ensure connections are fully seated and avoid excessive bending near the connectors. Confirm device recognition and expected transfer rates via the host operating system. If the device draws significant power, verify the host port provides sufficient current or consider using a powered hub.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within recommended practical length limits for passive USB 3.0 extensions and avoid running alongside high-interference power cables. When connecting high-speed storage or power-hungry devices, test transfer rates and device stability after installation; if issues appear, use a shorter cable or an active/repeater solution.
