USB High Speed 2.0 Extension Cable ShiverPeaks 77125-WF with Ferrite Connector

The USB High Speed 2.0 Extension Cable ShiverPeaks 77125-WF with Ferrite Connector is a passive USB 2.0 extension designed to extend the reach of USB peripherals while preserving high-speed data transfer rates. The cable features a standard Type-A male to Type-A female connection and integrates a ferrite bead to help reduce electromagnetic interference. With a 5.0 m length and gold-plated contacts, it is intended for reliable extension of keyboards, mice, printers, external drives and other USB 2.0-compatible devices.

Advantages

This extension cable maintains USB 2.0 High Speed signaling for data transfer up to the standard USB 2.0 rates while providing a simple plug-and-play connection. The ferrite connector reduces electromagnetic interference for more stable data transmission in environments with multiple electronic devices. Gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance over time. The passive design requires no external power or drivers, ensuring immediate compatibility with existing USB ports.

Suitable for

• Extending keyboards and mice to improve workstation layout
• Extending connection to printers and scanners in office or home setups
• Connecting external hard drives or flash drives where USB 2.0 speed is sufficient
• Temporary or semi-permanent extension of peripherals without altering original cables

Key specifications

• Interface: USB Type-A male to USB Type-A female
• USB specification: USB 2.0 High Speed compatible
• Cable length: 5.0 m
• Contact finish: gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Electromagnetic interference reduction: built-in ferrite bead/ferrite connector
• Color: white
• Power: passive cable, draws power through USB connection (no external supply)

How to use

Connect the Type-A male plug of the extension cable into a host USB port on your computer, hub or power source, then insert the device's original Type-A plug into the female receptacle of the extension. The cable is plug-and-play and does not require software installation. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid excessive bending near the ferrite area to preserve signal integrity. For powered devices, confirm the host port provides sufficient current when adding extension length.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this extension for devices that operate within USB 2.0 power and bandwidth limits. Avoid daisy-chaining multiple passive extensions; for longer distances or multiple extensions, consider an active USB repeater or powered hub. Keep the cable away from high-power electrical equipment to minimize interference and route the cable to prevent sharp bends or strain on connectors.
