Cable USB MediaRange 3 m USB3.0-A - USB3.0-A MRCS145

The MediaRange USB Cable 3m (USB3.0-A to USB3.0-A) is a shielded data cable designed for reliable connections between USB devices. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1) with a maximum theoretical transfer rate of 5 Gbit/s and features blue USB-A connectors on both ends. The 3 m length lets you connect devices over greater distances while maintaining signal integrity.

Advantages

This USB 3.0 extension cable is shielded to reduce interference and preserve data integrity. With USB 3.2 Gen 1 compatibility and USB-A connectors on both ends, it provides broad device compatibility and high-speed transfers up to 5 Gbit/s. The 3 m length offers flexibility for desktop setups and peripheral placement without relying on short cables or active hubs.

Suitable for

• Connecting external hard drives and SSDs
• Linking printers, scanners and other peripherals
• Extending cable reach for desktops, laptops and docking stations
• Data transfer between USB-A devices over longer distances

How to use

Plug the male USB-A connector into the host device (for example a computer or hub) and the female USB-A connector into the peripheral device, or use the cable as an extension between two USB-A ports where one end is compatible. Ensure connectors are fully inserted to establish a secure connection. No drivers are typically required for basic data connectivity; device-specific drivers may still be needed for certain peripherals.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid coiling the cable tightly, keep it away from strong electromagnetic sources, and use with devices that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 to achieve maximum transfer speeds. For very long runs or active charging at high currents, consider using an active repeater cable or powered hub.
