USB 2.0 extension cable, 10 ft
This cable extends a USB Type-A connection by ten feet between a computer or Mac and a peripheral. It supports USB 2.0 data transfer at 480 Mbps and has been tested at 30 MB/s from a 1 TB hard drive. Gold-plated connectors, bare copper conductors and foil plus braid shielding aim to preserve signal quality over the longer run. The male-to-female layout lets you plug the existing device cable straight into the extension.
Desktop users needing extra reach
The ten-foot length is practical when rear-panel ports are hard to reach or when a device must sit on a desk rather than beside the tower. It works with gamepads, flash drives, mice, keyboards, printers, scanners, card readers and cameras that use standard USB-A plugs. Builds that require USB 3.0 or higher throughput should look elsewhere because this cable is limited to USB 2.0 speeds.
USB 2.0 480 Mbps speed rating
The single specification that decides suitability is the 480 Mbps USB 2.0 data rate. If the connected device needs the higher bandwidth of USB 3.x or USB4 this cable will become a bottleneck. For peripherals that operate within USB 2.0 limits the extension adds reach without reducing performance.

Questions about this item
Will the gold-plated USB-A connectors need replacing after frequent plugging?
The cable is designed to protect the original port from repeated plugging, and the gold-plated connectors resist corrosion for long-term use.
Does the 10 ft length reduce the 480 Mbps USB 2.0 speed during large file transfers?
Tested transfer rates reach 30 MB/s from a 1 TB hard drive, so the full USB 2.0 bandwidth is maintained at this length.
Will the foil-and-braid shielded cable run warm when left connected all day?
Passive copper conductors carry only the device's normal operating current, so the cable itself does not generate noticeable heat.
