Description

StarTech USBEXTAA3BK 3ft USB 2.0 Extension Cable

Overview

The StarTech USBEXTAA3BK is a 3-foot black USB 2.0 extension cable designed to extend the reach of existing USB peripherals. This cable is ideal for connecting devices like webcams, USB microphones, or small USB-powered sensors that are positioned just out of reach of a standard USB port. Its construction supports the full USB 2.0 data transfer rate of 480 Mbps, ensuring reliable performance for data-intensive applications. The USBEXTAA3BK is suitable for environments where a short, dependable extension is required without introducing significant signal degradation.

Compatibility

This USB 2.0 extension cable is compatible with any device featuring a USB Type-A connector and requiring USB 2.0 speeds. It is suitable for extending connections to USB cameras, barcode scanners, and other USB peripherals used in surveillance systems, point-of-sale setups, or industrial automation. The cable supports plug-and-play functionality with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within an ambient temperature range of -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F), with a storage temperature range of -10°C to 30°C (14°F to 86°F). It requires a humidity level between 30% and 75% RH. The 24/28 AWG wire gauge ensures adequate power delivery for most USB 2.0 devices over this length. Nickel-plated connectors provide corrosion resistance, while the aluminum-mylar foil and braid shielding minimize electromagnetic interference for a stable connection.
