Description

A slim flat USB 3.0 extension that brings your webcam, drive or keyboard within reach without a tangle of round cords. The ribbon lies flat along the desk edge and carries USB 3.0 5Gbps data between USB-A ports.

Fast USB 3.0 5Gbps extension in a slim flat cable

Solves
  • short USB cables that cannot reach the device
  • tangled round cables
  • slow data transfer from older extension cables

Reach your USB devices without the tangle

Stop stretching short cables across the desk. A slim flat USB 3.0 extension brings your webcam, drive or keyboard within reach at 5Gbps.

A slim cable that stays out of the way

  • A cable that lies flat

    The flat ribbon profile runs straight across the desk and tucks behind monitors without curling back on itself. Route it along the desk edge and it stays put, so the keyboard and mouse path stays clear.

  • USB 3.0 5Gbps speed

    The cable is rated for USB 3.0 at 5Gbps, the same speed claim printed on the packaging. Plug it between a USB 3.0 port and a USB 3.0 device and transfers run at that rating, so a flash drive or external SSD does not lose speed along the way.

  • Blue two-tone grip

    Glossy blue strain-relief grips sit at both ends, so you can pick up the connector without touching the silver metal shell. The grip is easy to find by feel when you plug in behind the desk.

Route it flat in three moves

  1. 1
    Plug the male end into the computer

    Use the USB-A male end in a USB 3.0 port on your laptop or PC. The blue port marking tells you which port to use.

  2. 2
    Connect your device to the female end

    Plug your webcam, external drive or receiver into the female end. Keep the grip free so you can pull the connector out later without bending the ribbon.

  3. 3
    Lay the ribbon along the desk edge

    Run the flat ribbon in long, gentle curves along the desk edge or behind the monitor. Keep it away from the mouse path and do not rest a keyboard or a stack of books on top of it.

Questions and answers

Is a flat ribbon cable as reliable as a round USB 3.0 cable?
w
Wanelo · seller

The ribbon uses the same USB-A male and female format and the same USB 3.0 5Gbps rating as a round cable. The flat build is what keeps it neat on the desk. Avoid sharp folds at the connector and keep heavy items off the ribbon, and it will hold a steady connection for daily use.

Will it slow my drive or webcam down compared to my current extender?
w
Wanelo · seller

Transfer speed depends on the port and the device on each end. Plug the cable into a USB 3.0 port and connect a USB 3.0 device, and the link runs at the USB 3.0 5Gbps rating. A USB 2.0 port or device will cap the speed at its own level, the same as any extension.

Is it worth paying more than a generic USB extension cable?
w
Wanelo · seller

A generic round extender usually needs a second cable to hide it and a few minutes each time it tangles. This one uses premium materials, a matte black ribbon with a polished silver shell and a two-tone grip, and it stays flat from day one. Compared with replacing a drive, a webcam or a port hub, a single cable that reaches the device is the cheaper fix.

Will a flat USB 3.0 extension work with my webcam or external drive?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes, for any USB-A device that connects to a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port. Plug the male end into the computer, then connect the female end to the webcam or drive cable. The cable is a straight extension, so it works with keyboards, mice, USB flash drives and similar peripherals.

Is the USB-A male to female connection compatible with my laptop or PC?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. The male end is USB-A and fits the standard USB-A port on a laptop or desktop PC. The female end accepts a USB-A plug from your device. It does not add USB-C, so a USB-C only laptop will need a separate adapter.
