USB 2.0 Extension Cable Type A M/F InLine 34603 3m Transparent

The InLine USB 2.0 Extension Cable Type A M/F (3 m, transparent) extends USB connections and supports data transfer rates up to 480 Mb/s (0.48 Gbit/s). It is compatible with devices that have USB 2.0, USB 1.1 and USB 1.0 interfaces and provides a straightforward way to lengthen the reach of USB Type-A connections between host and peripheral devices.

Advantages

The transparent 3 m cable offers plug-and-play connectivity with USB A male to USB A female connectors, maintaining USB 2.0 data rates up to 480 Mb/s. Its design ensures broad backward compatibility with earlier USB versions and a longer cable length for flexible device placement without requiring additional adapters.

Suitable for

• Extending the reach of keyboards, mice and other USB-A peripherals
• Connecting external drives or flash drives when the original cable is too short
• Temporarily relocating USB devices without moving the host computer

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB A (male)
• Connector 2: USB A (female)
• Data transfer rate: up to 480 Mb/s (USB 2.0)
• Cable length: 3 m
• Colour: Transparent
• Compatibility: USB 2.0, USB 1.1, USB 1.0

How to use

Plug the USB A male connector into the host device or existing USB cable, then connect the USB A female end to the peripheral's USB A plug. Ensure both devices are powered on and the operating system recognises the connected device; no driver installation is typically required for standard USB devices. Avoid placing the cable near high-interference sources to maintain optimal signal quality.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, keep the cable run within the specified 3 m length and use it for data transfer and low-power peripherals. If you need to extend beyond this length or support high-power USB devices, consider a powered USB hub or an active USB extension solution.
