USB 2.0 A-to-A extension cable for peripheral
This five-foot white cable adds length between a host port and a USB 2.0 device such as a printer or scanner. It carries a male Type-A plug on one end and a female Type-A receptacle on the other. The flexible jacket suits tight routing behind desks or equipment racks.
Shielded construction maintains 480 Mbps over
Foil-and-braid shielding reduces EMI and RFI so the link stays at the rated 480 Mbits per second without drop-outs. Twenty-four-gauge power conductors keep voltage drop low for reliable device operation. The specification limits total bus length to 16.5 feet, so chaining multiple extensions can exceed the allowed distance.
Simple plug-in with molded strain relief
No drivers or tools are required; the connectors seat firmly and the overmoulded boots protect the solder joints from bending stress. The only common issue is exceeding the 16.5-foot total-cable limit when this extension is combined with other cables, which can cause intermittent disconnects or reduced throughput.

Questions about this item
Does the 5 ft cable add noticeable heat or power loss when a printer runs all day?
The cable uses 24 AWG power wires and foil-plus-braid shielding to meet USB 2.0 voltage-drop limits, so a 5 ft run stays within spec without extra heat.
What must my device already have for this extension to work?
Your peripheral needs a standard USB 2.0 Type-A port; the cable simply plugs between that port and the host’s Type-A socket.
Will the 480 Mbps link stay reliable if I keep an older USB 1.1 scanner on the same hub?
Yes, the extension is fully USB 2.0 compliant and backward compatible, so legacy 1.1 devices negotiate at their native speed without errors.
