The Tripp Lite U324-06N-BK USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Type-A Extension Cable (M/F) attaches to your current USB 3.0 cable to extend it by six inches. It supports data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps—ten times the speed of USB 2.0. The cable's bi-directional data interface allows data to flow both directions simultaneously, increasing theoretical bandwidth by ten times. Backward compatible with earlier USB generations, the U324-06N-BK features premium foil and braid shielding to deliver reliable, error-free signal quality and protection from EMI/RFI interference. Molded nickel-plated connectors ensure excellent conductivity. Integral strain relief ensures the cable and connectors last a long time. A rugged PVC jacket protects twisted 28 AWG data lines and 24 AWG power lines.
