Product Information

Full details

It provides a reliable connection for keyboards, mice, and printers that feature short integrated cables, though it is limited to USB 2.0 data transfer speeds, making it less suitable for high-speed external storage drives.

FAQs

Does this cable support data transfer?

Yes, this cable supports standard USB 2.0 data transfer speeds.

Can I use this for charging my phone?

Yes, it can pass power for charging, but charging speeds may be limited by the 1-meter length and USB 2.0 standards.

Is this compatible with USB 3.0 devices?

It will work with USB 3.0 devices, but the device will be capped at USB 2.0 performance speeds.

Can I daisy-chain two of these cables together?

While it may work for simple devices, daisy-chaining multiple extension cables is not recommended as it can lead to signal degradation.

Does the cable require any special drivers?

No, this is a passive extension cable and requires no drivers to function.

Troubleshooting

Device is not recognized by the computer

Unplug the extension cable and plug the peripheral directly into the computer to verify if the peripheral itself is working. If it works directly, re-seat the extension cable to ensure a firm connection.

Intermittent connection drops

Ensure that the connectors are fully seated and free of dust or debris. Check that the cable is not being pulled tight, which could cause tension on the port connections.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple plug-and-play functionality
  • Ideal length for desktop cable management
  • High compatibility with Type A peripherals
  • Reliable signal transmission via nickel connectors

Cons

  • Limited to USB 2.0 speeds (not recommended for USB 3.0/3.1 devices)
  • Fixed 1-meter length may not be enough for all room setups
  • Not suitable for power-intensive devices like high-draw external hard drives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: insert the male Type A connector into your host device (PC, laptop, or hub) and connect your peripheral into the female end of the cable. The cable is compatible with any standard USB Type A port. To maintain the life of the cable, avoid bending the connector heads at sharp angles or placing heavy furniture on top of the wire, as this can degrade the internal shielding over time. Keep the connectors clean and dry to ensure the best possible data transfer performance.
