Extension for USB 2.0 peripherals

This six-foot cable extends the reach of any USB 2.0 device by connecting a standard Type-A male plug to a Type-A female port. It suits desktop users who need to route a keyboard, mouse, printer or flash drive to a more convenient location without moving the host computer. The beige jacket matches legacy beige enclosures and office equipment.

Passive cable with shielded construction

The cable uses 24/28 AWG conductors wrapped in aluminium-Mylar foil and braid beneath a PVC jacket to suppress interference during data transfers. Rated for the USB 2.0 signalling rate of 480 Mbit/s, it also remains fully compatible with USB 1.1 devices. No external power is required and the passive design adds negligible latency or voltage drop over the 1.83 m length.

Replaces shorter or damaged A-to-A cables

It upgrades any existing USB 2.0 A-to-A link that is too short, worn or missing, letting you reposition peripherals up to six feet from the host port. The jump is worth it when the current cable forces an awkward device placement or when a port is recessed and difficult to reach. It does not add new ports or increase bandwidth beyond the USB 2.0 specification.

Questions about this item

How do I install the USBEXTAA_6 extension cable, and what step do people often get wrong?

Plug the USB A male end into the host port and the USB A female end accepts the device cable; the common mistake is reversing the connectors, which prevents the link from establishing.

What maintenance or replacement will the cable need over time?

The PVC jacket and aluminum-Mylar foil with braid shield are durable, but repeated bending near the connectors can fatigue the 24/28 AWG conductors, so replace the cable if intermittent connections appear.

What limit appears first when the cable runs at full 480 Mbit/s for long periods?

The 6 ft (1.83 m) length reaches the USB 2.0 maximum for high-speed signalling, so signal integrity degrades before any thermal or power limit is reached.
