VivoLink USB 3.0 A-to-A Extension Cable PROKEYUSB3AFBM1B Black, Female-to-Female, 1 m

VivoLink USB 3.0 A-to-A Extension Cable PROKEYUSB3AFBM1B Black, Female-to-Female, 1 m is a compact extension solution that lengthens an existing USB A connection by one metre. The cable maintains USB 3.0 signalling for high-speed data transfers between compatible hosts and devices while presenting a female-to-female A connector pair for coupling two A-terminated cables or bridging short runs. Its black jacket and slim profile make it suitable for neat cable routing behind desks, monitors or peripherals where convenience and accessibility are required.

Advantages

This female-to-female USB 3.0 extension preserves SuperSpeed data rates when used with USB 3.0–compatible devices and hosts, reducing the need to replace original cables. The 1 m length adds reach without creating excessive slack, and the slim design eases installation in tight spaces. The cable’s female-to-female configuration provides a simple way to connect two A-terminated cables or extend an existing connection without additional adapters or hubs.

Suitable for

• Extending the reach of an existing USB A cable to reposition peripherals
• Connecting two USB A cables to bridge longer distances between devices
• Improving access to rear or concealed USB ports on desktops, monitors, or AV equipment
• Temporary setups where a short extension is preferable to replacing a cable

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB A female to USB A female
• Standard supported: USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed)
• Length: 1 m
• Cable colour: Black
• Form factor: Slim, flexible jacket for constrained spaces

How to use

Connect one end of the extension cable to a USB A male plug on an existing cable and the other end to the device-facing USB A male plug or host as required. Ensure both connected cables and devices support the required USB standard for best performance; the extension will pass through up to the maximum supported speed of the weakest link in the chain. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends or pinch points and verify secure seating of connectors before powering data transfers.

Recommendations

Use the extension with USB 3.0–compatible cables and ports to maintain SuperSpeed performance. Avoid daisy-chaining multiple extensions to prevent signal degradation; for longer runs consider an active extension or a powered hub. Keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference and handle connectors gently to prolong service life.
