Description

StarTech USBEXTAA5DSK 5ft USB 2.0 Extension Cable

Overview

The StarTech USBEXTAA5DSK is a 5-foot (1.5m) USB 2.0 extension cable designed to provide additional reach for peripherals. This cable is useful for connecting devices like webcams, printers, or external hard drives that are positioned just out of reach of standard USB ports. It supports data transfer rates up to 480 Mbit/s, ensuring reliable performance for most USB 2.0 devices. The black, low-profile design of the USBEXTAA5DSK makes it suitable for desktop environments where cable management is a consideration.

Compatibility

This USB 2.0 extension cable is compatible with any device featuring a USB 2.0 Type-A female port and any host system with a USB 2.0 Type-A male port. It is suitable for extending connections to USB cameras, scanners, keyboards, mice, and other standard USB peripherals. It can also be used in conjunction with other USB extension cables for even greater reach, though performance may degrade over extended lengths beyond 5 meters.

Installation Notes

The USBEXTAA5DSK is a plug-and-play device requiring no additional drivers or software. Simply connect the male Type-A connector to your host device and the female Type-A connector to your USB peripheral. The cable's 5.2 ft (1.6m) product length includes the connectors. Its weight of 2.8 oz (78g) makes it easy to route without adding significant strain to ports.
