InLine USB 2.0 Cable Type A male / female, with base, black, 2m

This InLine USB 2.0 Cable Type A male/female with base in black is a 2 m extension cable designed to extend access to USB Type A ports at a workstation. It features a male USB A connector on one end and a female USB A connector with a base on the other, supporting the USB 2.0 maximum data transfer rate of 0.48 Gbit/s. Gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance while the integrated base with magnetic foot allows the female connector to be positioned conveniently on metal surfaces for easier plugging and unplugging.

Advantages

The cable provides a practical extension for desktop and laptop setups by bringing a USB A port closer to the user. Its 2 m length offers flexibility in device placement without moving the host computer. Gold-plated contacts reduce contact wear and help maintain consistent signal transmission. The female connector’s base with magnetic foot secures the port on metal surfaces, simplifying repeated connections and improving ergonomics at the workstation.

Suitable for

• Extending USB A ports from PC cases, desktop towers or rear panels to a convenient location
• Connecting USB peripherals such as flash drives, keyboards or mice where direct access to the host port is difficult
• Workstations where a stable, repositionable USB port is needed on a metal surface

How to use

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use this USB 2.0 extension with devices that operate within USB 2.0 speed limits. Avoid placing heavy strain on the connectors and keep the cable routed to prevent sharp bends. If using on non-metal surfaces, ensure the base is placed on a stable area to prevent accidental disconnection.
