InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 Cable Type A male / Type A female, black, 0.5m

The InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 Cable Type A male / Type A female black 0.5m is an extension cable designed to prolong existing USB Type A connections while preserving USB 3.2 Gen 1 transfer performance. It connects a host or device with a Type A male plug to another device or cable with a Type A female receptacle, offering a compact 0.5 meter length in a black finish. Gold-plated contacts are used to improve conductivity and reduce contact wear.

Advantages

This USB extension cable supports the high-speed data rates associated with USB 3.2 Gen 1 while maintaining signal integrity over the short 0.5 m length. The Type A male to Type A female configuration provides a simple, direct way to extend or reposition USB peripherals without modifying existing cables. Gold-plated contacts enhance electrical contact quality and corrosion resistance, and the black outer jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates with most setups.

Suitable for

• Extending a USB Type A connection to reach a nearby port or device
• Connecting peripherals such as external hard drives, printers, or hubs when extra cable length is needed
• Temporarily relocating a USB device without replacing the original cable

Key specifications

• USB standard: USB 3.2 Gen 1 data performance
• Connector A: Type A male
• Connector B: Type A female
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Colour: Black
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity

How to use

Insert the Type A male plug of the InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 extension into the host device or existing USB cable with a matching Type A port. Plug the target device or cable into the Type A female receptacle. Ensure connectors are aligned correctly before insertion to avoid damage. The cable requires no additional setup or drivers; it functions as a passive extension for compatible USB Type A devices and hosts.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this 0.5 m extension for short-distance connections and maintain good cable routing to avoid sharp bends. Verify device compatibility with USB 3.2 Gen 1 when using high-bandwidth peripherals; when connecting multiple extensions or long cable runs, consider signal degradation and use purpose-built active extenders if necessary.
