TeKit USB 3.0 Panel-Mount Extension Cable
This TeKit cable extends a USB 3.0 Type-A connection by 0.5 metres. A male plug connects to the host while a female port accepts the peripheral. Integrated panel-mount screw holes allow a fixed installation on a chassis or bracket. Shielded construction supports the 4.8 Gbps signalling rate defined by the USB 3.0 specification.
Upgrade from USB 2.0 or short cables
The jump is worthwhile when a peripheral sits beyond the reach of its stock lead or when a USB 2.0 link throttles large transfers. USB 3.0 delivers up to 10 times the bandwidth of USB 2.0, dropping a 480 Mbps ceiling to 4.8 Gbps. The half-metre length adds flexibility without introducing the signal loss seen on longer runs. Panel mounting removes strain on the host port during repeated insertions.
Suited for fixed-mount USB 3.0 peripherals
Builders who need a tidy front-panel or rear-bracket port for drives, docks or cameras will find the screw holes essential. Users wanting a longer tether, a right-angle connector, or a cable without mounting flanges should look at something else. The 0.5 m reach also limits use to devices positioned close to the host opening.

Questions about this item
What panel cut-out size do the mounting screws on this 0.5 m USB 3.0 extension cable require?
The panel-mount flange on the female connector uses two screw holes; drill a rectangular opening that matches the flange width and screw spacing so the connector sits flush and the screws engage securely.
Which end of the 0.5 m cable plugs into the host and which end stays accessible on the panel?
The USB 3.0 Type-A male connector inserts into the host port; the Type-A female connector mounts on the panel with its two screws, leaving the port facing outward for device connections.
How often should the panel-mounted female port be inspected or replaced under normal use?
USB 3.0 connectors are rated for thousands of insertion cycles; inspect the port if connections become intermittent or the retention feel loosens, otherwise no scheduled replacement is needed.
