GoodConnections Alcasa USB 2.0 Extension Cable, USB-A Male to USB-A Female, 0.3 m, Black

In a home office where the desktop tower sits just out of reach, or in a server rack where a USB dongle needs to be brought to the front panel, this short USB 2.0 extension cable bridges the gap without adding clutter. It connects a USB-A male plug to a USB-A female socket, giving you an extra 30 cm of flexible reach for keyboards, mice, flash drives, or other USB devices.

Why choose it

This extension cable is built for reliability in tight spaces. The combination of foil and braid shielding reduces electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable data transfer even in electrically noisy environments. Nickel-plated connectors resist corrosion and maintain a solid connection over repeated plugging and unplugging. The 0.3 m length is ideal for reducing cable clutter while providing just enough reach to reposition a USB port or device.

Ideal use cases

• Extending a USB port from the back of a desktop PC to a more accessible location
• Connecting a USB dongle or receiver away from sources of interference
• Bringing a USB port to the front of a kiosk, cabinet, or control panel
• Reducing strain on the USB port of a laptop or tablet when using a bulky flash drive

Good to know

The cable is passive and requires no drivers; it works immediately with any USB 2.0 or 1.1 device. The PVC jacket is durable yet flexible, suitable for everyday use. While it supports data transfer up to 480 Mbps, it is not intended for charging high-power devices—use it primarily for data and low-power peripherals.
