Cable alargador USB ProXtend USB3AAF-003 3.2 Gen1, 3 m, conector hembra USB-A a conector macho USB-A

ProXtend USB3AAF-003 is a USB 3.2 Gen1 extension cable designed to extend a standard USB-A connection by 3 meters. The cable uses a USB-A female connector on one end and a USB-A male connector on the other, allowing you to reposition peripherals or create easier access to USB ports without moving the connected devices. It supports USB 3.0/3.2 Gen1 data rates and maintains backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices.

Advantages

This USB-A extension cable offers a 3 m length for increased reach while retaining the data transfer capabilities of USB 3.2 Gen1. The female-to-male configuration enables convenient extension of existing USB-A cables or direct connection of peripherals that require a more accessible port location. The cable construction is intended to provide stable signal transmission over the extended distance and is compatible with a wide range of USB-A devices such as printers, external drives, keyboards and hubs.

Suitable for

• Extending the reach of a computer’s USB-A port to a desk surface or workstation
• Connecting printers or scanners placed away from the PC
• Accessing external hard drives and flash drives without rearranging equipment
• Linking keyboards, mice or USB hubs positioned for user convenience
• Temporary setups where a longer USB-A connection is required

Key specifications

• Standard: USB 3.2 Gen1 (backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1)
• Connector configuration: USB-A female to USB-A male
• Cable length: 3 meters
• Typical use: data transfer and peripheral extension
• Compatible devices: printers, external storage, keyboards, mice, hubs

How to use

Insert the USB-A male connector into an available USB-A port on your computer or host device. Plug the USB-A male end of the existing peripheral cable into the female end of the extension cable, or connect the peripheral directly to the female connector if applicable. Ensure connections are seated firmly to maintain stable data transfer. No additional drivers are required for basic USB functionality when used with operating systems that support USB 3.2 Gen1; device drivers for the connected peripheral may still be necessary.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid routing the cable near large sources of electromagnetic interference and do not sharply bend or kink the cable. If you need the highest possible data throughput, connect directly to a USB 3.2 Gen1 port on the host and avoid chaining multiple passive extension cables. Inspect connectors for debris before connecting and handle connectors by the housing when inserting or removing to prevent damage.
