VivoLink PROKEYUSB3AFM2B is a black USB 3.0 A-to-A extension cable with a Type A male connector on one end and a Type A female socket on the other. The cable is designed to extend the reach of existing USB Type‑A connections while maintaining USB 3.0 data rates and backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices. It is suitable for linking peripherals, hubs or devices that require additional length without replacing the original cable.

Advantages

The cable supports SuperSpeed USB 3.0 transfer rates while preserving compatibility with older USB standards. Its molded connectors and strain relief improve durability in frequent-use environments. The black jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates well into home and office setups. The Type A male to Type A female configuration allows simple extension of existing Type‑A cables without additional adapters.

Suitable for

• Extending USB Type‑A connections for external hard drives, flash drives and optical drives
• Connecting USB hubs or docking stations placed further from the host computer
• Providing additional cable length for printers, scanners and peripherals in office layouts
• Temporary or permanent cable routing where the original cable is too short

How to use

Insert the Type A male connector into an available USB Type‑A port on the host device or an existing cable end. Plug the peripheral or the next cable section into the Type A female socket. Ensure both connected devices are powered if required by the peripheral. For best performance, route the cable away from large sources of electromagnetic interference and avoid sharp bends that could stress the internal conductors.

Recommendations

Use the extension to increase reach while keeping total cable length within USB 3.0 recommendations to preserve transfer speeds. For devices that draw significant power from the USB port, use an externally powered hub or a direct connection to a powered port to ensure stable operation.
