The e p CC 518/5 USB 2.0 extension cable with Type A connectors extends the reach of USB Type A devices by 5.0 m while maintaining USB 2.0 data transfer capabilities. The cable provides plug-and-play connectivity for common peripherals and enables more flexible device placement without altering existing hardware or ports.

Advantages

This extension cable supports standard USB 2.0 signaling for reliable data transfer and is compatible with Type A ports on hosts and devices. The 5.0 m length reduces the need to relocate devices or computers and helps keep workspaces organized by allowing peripherals to be placed at a convenient distance.

How to use

Insert the male Type A plug into an available USB Type A port on your computer or hub, then connect the peripheral’s original Type A plug into the female Type A socket on the extension cable.

No software installation is required for operation.

Recommendations

Use this passive USB 2.0 extension for peripherals that are tolerant of USB 2.0 bandwidth and power delivery limits. If you need higher data rates, longer distances with active signal boosting, or additional power for bus-powered devices, consider using USB 3.x cables, active extenders, or powered hubs as appropriate.
