USB 2.0 Type-A Extension for Peripherals

This three-foot cable adds reach between a computer and a USB Type-A peripheral such as a printer, keyboard or external enclosure. It carries a male plug on one end and a female port on the other, preserving the original connection type. The link is rated for 480 Mbps data transfer and 0.5 A power delivery. It suits users who need a short, reliable extension without changing port styles.

Shielded Build for Stable Long-Run Signalling

Gold-plated contacts, full foil and braided shielding, and a 28 AWG conductor work together to reduce EMI interference during sustained transfers. The thermoplastic jacket and molded strain-relief boots protect the internal wiring from repeated flexing. Insulation resistance of 5 M and contact resistance of 5 help limit data degradation over the full 300 VDC withstand rating. The cable maintains USB 2.0 signalling quality across its entire length.

Plug-and-Play Fit with Standard Type-A Ports

Installation is a simple matter of inserting the male end into the host and the existing device cable into the female end; no drivers or configuration are required. The only common issue arises when the added metre pushes the total cable run beyond the USB 2.0 five-metre specification, which can cause intermittent drops on marginally powered devices. The compact 34 g black round cable routes easily in indoor or outdoor setups.

Questions about this item

Will the 480 Mbps USB 2.0 link stay reliable if this extension runs warm behind a desk all day?

The 28 AWG shielded conductors and foil-plus-braid shielding are rated for 300 VDC withstand and 5 MΩ insulation resistance, so signal quality at 480 Mbps remains stable under normal indoor temperatures.

Does my peripheral need its own power supply for this male-to-female Type-A cable to work?

The cable itself draws no power and carries the host's 0.5 A USB supply; bus-powered devices work directly, while self-powered peripherals simply use their own adapter as usual.

Can I plug this 3 ft extension into an older USB 1.1 port without losing the connection?

Yes — the cable meets the USB 2.0 and UL 2725 standards, so it falls back to 1.1 speeds automatically while keeping the same Type-A male-to-female fit.
