Three-foot USB 2.0 extension

This three-foot USB 2.0 extension cable adds reach between a host port and a peripheral. It carries a USB-A male plug on one end and a USB-A female receptacle on the other. The cable supports data rates up to 480 Mbps and uses 24/28 AWG conductors inside a PVC jacket with aluminum-Mylar foil and braid shielding.

Users needing a short reach boost

The cable suits anyone who needs a modest length increase for a printer, game controller, phone sync cable or similar USB 2.0 device. It does not help installations that require more than three feet of extra length or connections that demand USB 3.0 or higher bandwidth.

480 Mbps USB 2.0 data rate

The single specification that decides fit is the 480 Mbps USB 2.0 rating. If the peripheral or host requires SuperSpeed throughput this cable will limit performance, so verify the required signalling rate before buying.
