USB 2.0 A-to-A extension

This six-foot cable adds length between a USB 2.0 host port and a peripheral. The Type-A male plug fits the computer or hub, while the Type-A female socket accepts the device cable. It is intended for users who need extra reach for keyboards, mice, printers or similar low- and high-speed accessories.

Check your host and device ports

Verify that both ends of the connection use standard USB 2.0 Type-A interfaces. The cable will not mate with Type-B, Mini, Micro or Type-C connectors without a separate adapter. Ensure the combined length of this extension plus the device cable does not exceed the five-metre limit defined by the USB 2.0 specification.

Shielding and power handling

Double shielding with tinned copper braid and aluminium Mylar foil protects the twisted 28/24 AWG data lines from interference. Gold-plated contacts maintain reliable conductivity across the 1.5 to 480 Mbps signalling range. The cable draws no external power and adds negligible voltage drop for typical peripheral loads.

Questions about this item

Does the U024-006 come with anything other than the 6 ft cable itself?

The package contains only the USB 2.0 extension cable with a Type A male plug on one end and a Type A female port on the other; no extra adapters or drivers are included.

When would I choose the 6 ft length over a shorter or longer option?

Choose the 6 ft length when the device you are connecting sits roughly 1.8 metres from the host port, keeping the run within the USB 2.0 specification limit without excess slack.

What does the 480 Mbps rating mean for everyday use?

It is the maximum high-speed throughput defined for USB 2.0, so typical peripherals such as webcams, printers or external hard drives will operate at their rated speeds over this cable.
