Renkforce 1420710 USB 3.0 extension cable, 3 m, blue

The Renkforce USB 3.0 extension cable 3 m in blue extends USB 3.0 connections while maintaining the interface's high-speed data transfer characteristics. Designed to lengthen the reach between a computer and USB peripherals, this 3-metre cable provides additional flexibility for connecting external hard drives, printers, webcams, keyboards and other devices without relocating equipment. The cable supports the standard USB 3.0 signalling and is suitable for common home and office setups where a longer cable run is required.

Advantages

This USB 3.0 extension cable keeps SuperSpeed data rates over the extended length and provides a simple plug-and-play connection without additional drivers. The blue jacket improves visibility and cable management, while the durable connectors and shielding reduce interference and wear from repeated use. Its 3 m length offers a practical balance between reach and signal integrity for typical peripheral connections.

Suitable for

• Extending the reach of external hard drives and SSD enclosures
• Connecting printers and multifunction devices placed away from the PC
• Positioning webcams, microphones or headsets at a comfortable distance
• Temporary or permanent workstation setups in home offices and workplaces

Key specifications

• Interface: USB 3.0 (backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1)
• Length: 3 metres
• Color: blue
• Connector types: standard USB A male to USB A female extension
• Cable shielding: foil and braid shielding to reduce EMI

How to use

Connect the male USB A plug into the host computer or hub and plug the peripheral's USB A connector into the female end of the extension cable. The cable is plug-and-play and does not require additional software for standard USB devices. Ensure both ends are fully seated to maintain a reliable connection; for high-power devices, connect directly to a powered USB port or use a powered hub if required by the peripheral.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid routing the cable alongside power cables or sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Keep the cable run as direct as possible and avoid sharp bends or repeated tight coiling. When using high-bandwidth or power-hungry devices, use ports that supply adequate current or a powered hub to prevent connection instability.
