U3225QE, USB extension cable?

Sadly, all but one of the USB ports are on the back of the monitor looking down at my desk. I'm looking for a short compatible extension cable capable of delivering the 10Gbps speeds promised by the ports. Do such cables have different speed capabilities?

You'd likely be better off using a single cable that's longer.  3 meters is the max for USB 3 -- choose a cable with the correct connector for whatever device you're using.

@ejn63​ I'd prefer 30cm but 50cm would suffice.  My aim with the extension is that I'd rather the wear and tear of constant connection/disconnections would be on the cable, not the drive for example.
