USB extension cable Unitek Y‑C418GBK 5 m USB A to USB A USB 2.0, black

The UNITEK Y-C418GBK 5m USB 2.0 Black cable is a 5-metre USB A to USB A data cable designed for extended-reach connections where standard cable lengths are insufficient. It supports the USB 2.0 specification with a maximum data transfer rate of 0.48 Gbit/s and comes in a black finish suitable for office, home or studio environments. The cable provides a simple, single-cable solution for connecting compatible devices with USB A ports over longer distances.

Advantages

The cable's 5 m length enables flexible device placement without the need to relocate equipment. Compliance with USB 2.0 ensures reliable data transfer at the standard full-speed rate, while the USB A to USB A connectors make it directly compatible with many computers, peripherals and consumer devices that use Type-A ports. The black jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates with most setups and reduces visual clutter.

Suitable for

• Connecting a computer to external peripheral devices with USB A ports over a longer distance
• Extending reach for printers, scanners or external drives when direct placement is impractical
• Temporary or semi-permanent workstation setups in offices, classrooms or studios

Key specifications

How to use

Insert one end of the UNITEK USB A to USB A cable into the USB A port of the host device and the other end into the target device ensuring connectors are oriented correctly.

For best performance, avoid running the cable near sources of strong electromagnetic interference and keep connections secure at both ends to prevent intermittent disconnection.
