InLine USB 2.0 Extension Cable Type A male/female, 5 m, black — extension cable for USB ports with gold-plated contacts. The cable supports High Speed USB 2.0 data transfer up to 480 Mbit/s (0.48 Gbit/s) and is backward compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 1.0 devices. It comes with a male Type A plug and a female Type A receptacle and is intended to extend the reach of existing USB connections.

Advantages

The gold-plated contacts improve conductivity and reduce corrosion, while the 5 m length provides extended reach for desktops, peripherals and devices. Compatibility with USB 2.0 and earlier USB standards ensures wide device support. The black outer jacket offers a neutral appearance and basic protection for the internal conductors.

How to use

Insert the male USB Type A plug into the host device’s USB Type A port (PC, laptop, hub or docking station).

Recommendations

For reliable data transfer, avoid routing the cable near strong electromagnetic sources and prevent sharp bends. For power-hungry devices, use a powered USB hub if the extended cable causes insufficient power at the peripheral.
