Scosche ExtendIt USB Type-C Extension Cable (3 ft, White) - USB-C Female to USB-C Male
Product description
What it is
The Scosche ExtendIt USBCEXT3WT-SP is a 3-foot USB Type-C extension cable with a female end on one side and a male end on the other. It’s designed to add length to your existing USB-C charging or data cables, helping you reach devices more comfortably without swapping cables.
What it does for you
If you frequently find yourself short on cable length, this extension offers a simple way to gain extra reach. It’s particularly handy for MagSafe charging setups, allowing you to keep your iPhone 12/13 (and newer) in a convenient position while it charges. The cable supports Power Delivery fast charging, so data and power transfer can keep up with demanding devices when used with compatible USB‑C chargers and devices.
How it helps in real use
You can connect your current USB-C cable to the female end and extend it with the male end, creating a flexible setup for charging desks, nightstands, or couches. It’s a straightforward solution for those who need a little more slack without investing in a longer cable or changing their existing setup.
Pros and what stands out
• Adds a concrete 3 ft of length to USB-C cables, increasing flexibility. • Compatible with USB-C Power Delivery devices, so fast charging isn’t out of the question when paired with a suitable charger. • MagSafe compatibility makes it a practical addition for iPhone charging scenarios, keeping devices reachable during charging. • Backed by Scosche’s Lifetime Tech Support and a 3-year warranty, which adds peace of mind.
Cons or limitations to consider
• It’s an extension, not a replacement cable, if your current cable is already long enough, you may not gain much. • Real-world charging speed and data transfer depend on the paired USB-C cable and charger—extension alone won’t guarantee maximum PD speeds.
Who this is for
This extension is a sensible pick if you use USB-C charging or data cables with a need for extra reach, especially when you want to keep a device like a MagSafe charger within comfortable distance while in use.
Who may want to skip it
If you already have a sufficiently long USB-C cable or you need a cable with built-in PD negotiation beyond an extension, you might prefer a different solution rather than adding length.
When it makes sense to buy
Opt for this extension when you want more flexibility for a charging or syncing setup, particularly in spaces where cable length gaps exist or you want to position devices more ergonomically.
What to check before purchasing
Ensure your primary USB-C cable and charger support Power Delivery if you expect fast charging through the extension. Also confirm that your intended use (MagSafe with iPhone, laptop, tablet) aligns with the need for extra reach.
Practical usage example
Imagine charging your iPhone on a desk at a comfortable distance while you work—plug your existing MagSafe charger into the extension and place the phone within easy reach without tugging on cables.
Quick FAQ
- Q: Does it add 3 feet to any USB-C cable? A: It adds a 3-foot extension by connecting between your current cable and the device or charger.

- Q: Is it compatible with all USB-C devices? A: It’s designed for USB-C cables and devices, but performance depends on the connected equipment.
Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you need extra length for positioning devices or charging setups, especially in areas where reach is a constraint. If you prioritize minimal clutter and already have ample cable length, it might be less compelling.
