The UGREEN USB 3.0 Extension Cable is a practical solution for users who need to extend their USB reach without sacrificing performance. Designed to bridge the gap between your computer or Mac and your peripherals, this cable allows you to move your USB ports from the back of a desktop or TV to a more convenient, easy-to-reach location. Engineered for speed, this extender supports USB 3.0 data transfer rates up to 5Gbps—making it 10 times faster than USB 2.0. This ensures that HD movies and large files are transferred in seconds, provided your host device is equipped with a USB 3.0 port. For older hardware, it remains fully backward compatible with USB 2.0, 1.1, and 1.0 standards. Build quality is a priority, featuring corrosion-resistant tin-plated bare copper conductors and gold-plated connectors capable of withstanding over 10,000 plug cycles. To ensure a clear signal, the cable incorporates foil and braid shielding to protect against EMI/RFI interference, while an internal metal wire braid provides the flexibility and strength needed to resist pulling and dragging. Beyond convenience, this cable acts as a protective layer for your device's hardware. By using the UGREEN USB 3.0 Extension Cable as the primary point of connection, you protect the original USB sockets of your expensive devices from the wear and tear of repeated plugging and unplugging. It is a plug-and-play accessory requiring no drivers, making it compatible with a wide array of devices including Oculus VR, PlayStation, Xbox, and various USB flash drives.
