USB 2.0 Extension Cable

The Cables Unlimited USB-5105-02M is a USB 2.0 extension cable with gold-plated Type A male and female connectors. It supports transfer rates up to 480Mbps depending on the USB version and works with PC and Mac systems. The black cable is plug-and-play compatible with USB specifications 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0. It provides a simple way to extend an existing USB connection.

Users needing longer reach

This cable suits users who need to extend a USB Type A connection by a short distance. It is not for buyers who require USB 3.0 or higher bandwidth for fast external drives. Builders needing a Type B, Micro, or Type C connector should look elsewhere. The gold-plated contacts help maintain signal integrity over the extension length.

Male-to-female Type A connector

The defining specification is the USB Type A male to Type A female connector arrangement. This gender configuration extends a standard host or hub port while accepting a regular device plug. Verify that both the host port and the device plug are Type A before purchasing. Gold plating and backward compatibility with USB 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 complete the feature set.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the USB-5105-02M and is anything else required?

The package contains the 2 metre USB 2.0 extension cable with a gold-plated Type A male connector on one end and a gold-plated Type A female connector on the other; no extra adapters or drivers are needed for plug-and-play use.

The spec lists USB 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 compatibility — which version should I rely on for my device?

The cable supports all three standards, so it will negotiate the highest speed both your host and peripheral allow, up to the 480 Mbps ceiling of USB 2.0.

What does the 480 Mbps transfer rate mean when I connect this extension to my computer?

It is the maximum theoretical throughput of USB 2.0; actual speeds depend on the host controller, the attached device and cable length, but the gold-plated contacts help maintain signal integrity over the 2 metre run.
