Extension Cable for USB A Devices
This Cables To Go 26686 cable extends the reach of an existing USB A/B cable by 9.8 feet. It connects a USB Type A male plug to a USB Type A female port. The white cable is built for PC and Mac compatibility and carries a new condition.
USB 2.0 Length and Speed Limit
The cable operates under the USB 2.0 specification, which caps the maximum cable length at 5 metres for full-speed devices. At 9.8 feet (3 metres) this extension stays within that limit, but chaining it beyond 5 metres total will breach the standard and risk signal errors.
Extends Keyboards, Mice and Printers
The extension comfortably handles low-bandwidth peripherals such as keyboards, mice and printers at the full 3 metre length. It runs out of headroom for high-throughput devices like external hard drives or video capture, where the USB 2.0 bandwidth ceiling becomes the bottleneck.
