Black Box USB 2.0 Extension Cable 6 ft

This six-foot extension cable carries a USB Type A male plug on one end and a Type A female port on the other. It is designed for users who need to bridge a short gap between a host port and a peripheral without moving the host device. The cable supports the USB 2.0 signalling rate.

Replaces shorter or damaged USB 2.0 Type A links

The cable upgrades any existing USB 2.0 connection that is too short or has a worn connector. The jump is worth it when the current lead cannot reach the peripheral or when the original plug no longer makes reliable contact. It does not increase the signalling speed beyond the USB 2.0 rate.

Limited to USB 2.0 bandwidth and Type A endpoints

The link tops out at the USB 2.0 data rate, so high-throughput devices such as modern external SSDs will not reach their rated performance. The Type A connectors prevent use with Type C or Micro-B ports unless separate adapters are added. Cable length is fixed at six feet.
