Monoprice Essentials USB-C to USB-A Female 3.1 Gen 1 Extension | USB Cables

Add reach where fixed ports create friction. The Monoprice Essentials USB Type C to USB-A Female 3.1 Gen 1 Extension Cable gives you 5 ft of additional placement flexibility between a USB-C host and a USB-A accessory, making it easier to position peripherals, docks, adapters, and other connected devices without crowding the source system. Designed for USB 3.1 Gen 1 use, this extension cable supports everyday data connectivity while helping keep ports accessible in dense desktop, lab, and service environments. It is a practical choice when a short factory cable limits installation options or when you need to relocate a device for better access, cleaner routing, or reduced strain on the original connection. For IT teams, the value is simple: fewer workarounds, cleaner cable runs, and more control over how devices are deployed. In environments where uptime, serviceability, and physical access matter, a well-matched extension cable can save time during setup and reduce wear from awkward cable positioning. This model fits that role with the right mix of length, interface compatibility, and straightforward utility.
