  • Male-to-female Type-A extends existing USB ports without adapters
  • Supplied unassembled so you can route the flat cable before final connection

Flat FPC cable for tight routing

The .5 m USB 2.0 Type-A male-to-female extension uses a flat flexible printed circuit that bends easily inside narrow frames. It suits FPV cameras, brushless gimbals and other compact devices where a round cable would not fit. The soft construction lets you route it around tight corners without stress on the connectors.

User-assembled kit frees standard ports

The cable and connector ship separately so you assemble the termination yourself, matching the exact length and orientation your build needs. Once fitted it plugs into any free USB 2.0 Type-A port and presents a female Type-A socket for hard disks, scanners, printers or similar peripherals. No extra drivers or power adapters are required.

Steady 480 Mbps data under continuous use

The copper conductors maintain the full USB 2.0 480 Mbps rate during long transfers such as disk imaging or scanner batches. Because the link is limited to USB 2.0 data only, it does not support higher-speed or power-delivery modes. The flat FPC layout resists fatigue from repeated flexing in gimbal or drone applications.

Questions about this item

Does the 480 Mbps USB 2.0 bandwidth limit how fast my external hard disk can transfer large files over this 50 cm cable?

Yes, the cable is rated for USB 2.0 speeds of 480 Mbps, so any connected drive will be capped at that throughput regardless of its own capability.

Will the flat FPC cable become warm or add noticeable power draw if I leave a scanner plugged in all day?

The passive copper FPC has no active components, so it generates no audible noise and negligible heat during continuous data transfers.

The description says the cable and connector ship separately — what do I need to assemble it and is any soldering required?

The parts are designed for tool-free assembly; you simply align and press the supplied connector onto the flat cable following the included photo guide.
