USB A to USB A extension cable DELOCK 81515 USB 2.0, 5 m, black, gold-plated contacts

DELOCK 81515 is a 5 m USB 2.0 extension cable with USB A male to USB A female connectors. It extends an existing USB A connection to provide additional reach for peripherals and supports data transfer and power supply for connected devices. The cable features gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance and comes in a black jacket. The reversible EASY USB connectors are designed to be twist-proof and can be inserted without checking top or bottom orientation.

Advantages

The cable supports USB 2.0 data rates up to 0.48 Gbit/s and provides a simple plug-and-play way to extend USB A connections. Gold-plated contacts enhance signal reliability and resist corrosion, while the reversible EASY USB male and female connectors reduce insertion errors and make connection easier in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Extending connections to printers and scanners
• Connecting external hard drives or USB flash drives at a greater distance
• Extending USB cables for keyboards, mice and other peripherals
• Temporary or fixed setup adjustments where extra cable length is required

When it may not be suitable

This cable implements the USB 2.0 standard and therefore does not provide the higher transfer speeds or advanced features of USB 3.x or USB-C connections. It may not be suitable when you require USB 3.x bandwidth, faster charging capabilities, or specific power delivery profiles.

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB A (male) to USB A (female)
• USB version: USB 2.0 (up to 0.48 Gbit/s)
• Cable length: 5 m
• Contact finish: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: black

How to use

Connect the male USB A plug to the host device or existing USB cable and insert the female USB A socket to the device's USB A plug. The reversible EASY USB connectors allow insertion without checking orientation. Use the cable for data transmission and to supply power to the connected USB device according to the limitations of the USB 2.0 standard.

What to consider before purchase

• Required data transfer speed — USB 2.0 supports up to 0.48 Gbit/s
• Compatibility with your devices' connector types (USB A)
• Length needed (5 m) and routing considerations
• Power requirements of the connected device versus USB 2.0 power limits

Recommendations

Use the DELOCK 81515 to extend standard USB A connections for peripherals that do not require USB 3.x speeds. Avoid routing the cable near strong electromagnetic sources and secure it to prevent strain on connectors; replace if the jacket or contacts show wear.
