Desktop USB Extension Cable

The USBEXTAA5DSK extends an existing USB Type-A port by 1.5 metres, moving the connection point from the rear of a Mac or PC to a more convenient spot on the desk or case top. It is intended for anyone who regularly plugs in flash drives, cameras, MP3 players or other USB peripherals and wants to avoid reaching behind the computer.

USB 2.0 480 Mbit/s Interface

The cable carries USB 2.0 signals at up to 480 Mbit/s through a Type-A male plug on one end and a Type-A female receptacle on the other. This single specification determines whether the cable matches the port and speed requirements of the device being connected.

1.5 Metre Reach and Peripheral Support

The 1.5 metre length comfortably bridges the gap between a floor-standing tower and a desktop work surface, giving ample slack for thumb drives, card readers or charging cables. It runs out when the required distance exceeds 1.5 metres or when a USB 3.0 or higher data rate is needed for the attached device.

Questions about this item

What does the 480 Mbit/s rating mean when the cable is plugged into my computer?

It sets the maximum data rate at USB 2.0 speed, so file transfers and device syncing will run at up to 480 Mbit/s provided both the host port and the peripheral also support USB 2.0.

Which USB standard does the cable implement and what does that limit in practice?

The cable is built to the USB 2.0 specification, capping throughput at 480 Mbit/s and limiting power delivery to the standard USB 2.0 current allowance.

What physical space and connectors are needed to install the 1.5 m extension on my desk?

You need a free USB Type A female port on the host and 1.5 m of cable run to reach the desired desktop location; the male plug inserts into the host and the female receptacle accepts your existing USB A device cable.
