USB 3.0 Extension Cable MACLEAN MCTV-583 — 3 m, USB 3.0 Type-A extension

MACLEAN MCTV-583 is a 3 m USB 3.0 extension cable designed to extend a USB Type-A connection while preserving high-speed data transfer. The cable lets you relocate or more conveniently connect peripherals such as external hard drives, SSDs, webcams, printers, keyboards and mice to a host device without losing USB 3.0 throughput when used with compatible ports. Its length and USB 3.0 compatibility make it suitable for home, office and multimedia setups that require additional cable reach between the host and the peripheral.

Advantages

The cable supports USB 3.0 data rates when connected to a USB 3.0 or higher host port and peripheral, enabling faster file transfers compared with USB 2.0. A 3 metre length provides added flexibility for positioning devices and improving accessibility to rear or hard-to-reach ports. The Type-A to Type-A extension format offers broad compatibility with a wide range of existing USB Type-A devices and accessories.

Suitable for

• Extending connection to external drives and SSD enclosures
• Positioning webcams or microphones away from the host
• Reaching rear USB ports on desktops and AV cabinets
• Connecting keyboards, mice and other peripherals with more convenient cable routing

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Interface: USB 3.0 (backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1)
• Connector type: USB Type-A extension
• Intended use: data transfer and peripheral extension

How to use

Plug the male Type-A end of the extension into the host computer or hub's USB Type-A port, then connect the peripheral's Type-A plug into the female extension end. Ensure both host and peripheral support USB 3.0 to achieve maximum data rates; if either side supports only USB 2.0 or 1.1, transfer speeds will fall back accordingly. No special drivers are required for standard operating systems; handle the connectors gently and avoid sharp bends to maintain cable integrity.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable with USB 3.0 compatible ports and devices, keep cable runs away from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid excessive twisting or kinking. If powering high-current devices directly from a host USB port, verify the device's power requirements as extension cables can introduce slight voltage drop over longer lengths.
