StarTech USB3SEXTAA6 6ft USB 3.0 Extension Cable
Overview
The StarTech USB3SEXTAA6 is a 6-foot USB 3.0 extension cable designed to add reach to your existing SuperSpeed USB connections. This cable is essential when your USB 3.0 device, such as a camera, external drive, or peripheral, is just out of reach of your computer or hub. It supports the full 5Gbps data transfer rate of USB 3.0, ensuring no performance bottleneck for high-bandwidth devices. The cable features a male USB Type-A connector on one end and a female USB Type-A connector on the other, allowing you to effectively extend an existing cable run.
Compatibility
This USB 3.0 extension cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, though it will operate at the slower speeds of those standards. It is designed to work with any USB 3.0 host controller, hub, or device, including but not limited to: StarTech USB 3.0 hubs, external hard drives, high-resolution webcams, and specialized surveillance cameras requiring a USB 3.0 connection for high frame rates or resolutions. The 28 AWG wire gauge ensures signal integrity for reliable data transfer over the 6-foot length.
Installation Notes
The cable features nickel-plated connectors for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. Its PVC jacket provides flexibility, while the foil-shielded twisted-pair construction minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and signal crosstalk, crucial for maintaining the 5Gbps SuperSpeed performance. The compact dimensions (0.7 in width, 0.3 in height) allow for easy routing in tight spaces.
