Description

StarTech USB3SEXT6BK USB 3.0 Extension Cable

Overview

The StarTech USB3SEXT6BK is a 6-foot black USB 3.0 extension cable designed to overcome distance limitations for SuperSpeed USB devices. This cable is useful for connecting peripherals like external hard drives, webcams, or specialized USB sensors in surveillance or automation setups where the primary USB port is not ideally located. It provides an additional 6 feet of reach, enabling flexible device placement without sacrificing data transfer speed. The USB3SEXT6BK supports USB 3.0 SuperSpeed data rates up to 5 Gbps, ensuring that high-bandwidth devices perform as intended.

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 Type-A host controller and USB Type-A peripheral. Specific compatibility includes: USB 3.0 cameras, USB 3.0 hard drive enclosures, USB 3.0 capture devices, and other USB 3.0 peripherals requiring a stable, high-speed connection. It is suitable for extending connections to USB 3.0 NVRs or DVRs.

Installation Notes

The cable features nickel-plated USB Type-A male and female connectors for enhanced durability and signal integrity. The internal wiring uses 28 AWG conductors, suitable for maintaining 5 Gbps speeds over the 6-foot length. The cable jacket is constructed from PVC for flexibility, and it includes foil shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is critical in environments with other electronic equipment. Operating temperature range is -10~50°C (14°F to 122°F).
