USB extension cable ShiverPeaks 77123-W — High Speed USB 2.0 A male to A female, length not specified

The ShiverPeaks 77123-W is a High Speed USB 2.0 extension cable with a USB A male connector on one end and a USB A female connector on the other. It preserves USB 2.0 data rates while extending the physical reach of a standard USB A connection, enabling connection of peripherals such as keyboards, mice, printers and external storage devices where additional length is needed. The cable is intended for situations that require a simple, compatible extension of an existing USB A port without changes to device functions or protocol.

Advantages

This USB extension cable supports High Speed USB 2.0 data transfer rates and maintains backward compatibility with USB 1.1 devices. The A male to A female configuration allows quick plug-and-play extension of existing USB A connections without adapters. Connectors have gold-plated contacts to improve contact reliability and reduce corrosion. The cable is designed for general-purpose desktop and office use where a reliable, straightforward extension is required.

Suitable for

• Extending the reach of keyboards and mice to a more convenient position.
• Placing printers or scanners farther from the host computer.
• Extending connection to external hard drives or flash storage for data transfer at USB 2.0 speeds.
• Temporarily routing a USB device to a different USB A port without reconnecting cables at the host device.

Key specifications

• USB standard: High Speed USB 2.0 (backward compatible with USB 1.1)
• Connector type: USB A male to USB A female
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts for improved corrosion resistance
• Color: white

How to use

Insert the USB A male connector of the extension cable into an available USB A port on the host device. Plug the USB A male connector of the peripheral or an existing USB cable into the USB A female end of the extension. Ensure connectors are fully seated to maintain a stable electrical connection. The cable is plug-and-play and requires no software drivers for operation under common operating systems that support USB 2.0.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid tight bends and kinks in the cable and keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference. If using for data-critical transfers, connect devices directly to the host or use certified active extenders if additional length beyond passive extension is required.
