InLine USB 2.0 Flat Cable Type A male / female gold plated black 5m

The InLine USB 2.0 Flat Cable Type A male/female 5m in black provides a straightforward way to extend an existing USB A connection. This flat-profile cable supports USB 2.0 data transfer speeds and pairs a Type A male plug with a Type A female socket, allowing easy extension of peripherals such as keyboards, mice, printers and external drives while maintaining a compact, low-profile appearance.

Advantages

The flat design reduces cable bulk and helps prevent tangling, making routing under desks or along walls simpler. Gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and reduce corrosion risk, contributing to stable signal transmission. With a 5 m length, this cable extends reach without requiring an additional hub or complex rewiring, and the black finish blends unobtrusively with most setups.

Suitable for

• Extending USB A connections for peripherals (keyboard, mouse, printer)
• Connecting external storage devices and flash drives at a greater distance
• Temporary or permanent cable routing along desks, walls, or in AV installations
• Home office, classroom, and small office setups where extra USB reach is needed

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB Type A male to USB Type A female
• USB standard: USB 2.0
• Cable length: 5 m
• Profile: flat cable design for reduced tangling and easier routing

How to use

Insert the USB A male plug into the host device or an existing USB A port and connect the USB A female end to the peripheral device’s cable or plug. Ensure connectors are fully seated to achieve a reliable connection. For best results, avoid sharp bends near the connector ends and route the flat cable along smooth surfaces. The cable requires no drivers and is compatible with devices that support USB 2.0 and backward-compatible USB ports.

Recommendations

Place the cable where it will not be pinched by furniture or doors, and avoid tight coils to maintain signal quality. For high-bandwidth devices or long daisy-chained setups, consider USB 3.x alternatives; for typical peripheral extension and general use, this USB 2.0 flat extension offers a low-profile and reliable solution.
