USB Extension Cable ROLINE 5m 1 Port Black

The ROLINE USB 2.0 Extension Cable 5m extends an existing USB A connection by five metres using a USB A male to USB A female interface. Designed for USB 2.0 data rates up to 0.48 Gbit/s, the cable is finished in black and provides a flexible, durable extension option for peripherals and devices that require additional reach without changing connectors.

Advantages

This cable offers a straightforward plug-and-play extension of USB A connections with full compatibility for USB 2.0 speeds. Its 5 m length increases workspace flexibility and reduces the need to relocate devices or host equipment. The durable black jacket and standard USB A connectors make it suitable for repeated connection cycles and general office, home, or workshop use.

Suitable for

• Extending USB A connections to printers, scanners and external hard drives
• Connecting keyboards, mice and other input devices at greater distance from a computer
• Providing additional reach for USB hubs or docking stations
• Temporary or permanent cable routing in offices, classrooms and home setups

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB A male to USB A female
• USB standard: USB 2.0, up to 0.48 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 5 m
• Colour: Black
• Compatible with USB A peripheral devices supporting USB 2.0

How to use

Insert the USB A male plug into the host device's USB A port and connect the USB A female end to the peripheral's USB A plug. Ensure both connectors are fully seated to maintain data integrity. For devices that draw power through the USB connection, verify that the host provides sufficient power across the extended length; for power-hungry devices, consider using a powered hub or a shorter connection if necessary.

Recommendations

Use this extension cable for data-transfer and low-to-moderate power peripherals that conform to USB 2.0 specifications. Avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines to minimize electromagnetic interference, and inspect connectors periodically for wear. For reliable power delivery over distance, use a powered USB hub or connect high-current devices directly to the host.
