Smays USB 2.0 Male-to-Female Extension Cable 1.6 ft 5-Pack

USB 2.0 extension cables for short reach

This five-pack supplies 1.6 ft USB 2.0 male-to-female cords that extend the connection between a host port and a peripheral. They suit anyone who needs a little extra length for a keyboard, mouse, flash drive, printer or controller without running a long cable across a desk. The bulk quantity lets you keep spares at home, in the office or in a travel bag.

PVC jacket and standard Type-A ends

Each cable uses a black PVC sheath and standard USB Type-A connectors rated for the 2.0 specification. The male plug inserts into the computer or hub while the female port accepts the device cable, so no special mounting or adapters are required. The short 1.6 ft length reduces clutter and strain on ports when devices sit close to the host.

Limited to USB 2.0 bandwidth and power

The link tops out at 480 megabits per second, so large file transfers to high-speed external drives will be slower than on a USB 3.x or faster interface. The cables carry only the power defined by the USB 2.0 specification, which may not meet the charging needs of tablets or other high-draw devices. They are not suited for applications that demand higher throughput or increased current delivery.
