Add-On USBEXTAA6 USB 2.0 Extension Cable

Overview

The Add-On USBEXTAA6 is a 1.82-meter (6-foot) USB 2.0 extension cable, featuring a Type-A male connector on one end and a Type-A female connector on the other. This cable is designed to extend the reach of existing USB 2.0 devices, allowing for more flexible placement of peripherals in surveillance, IT, or automation systems. It's suitable for connecting devices like USB cameras, barcode scanners, or mobile computers where the native cable length is insufficient. The USBEXTAA6 model ensures data integrity for standard USB 2.0 speeds.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any device utilizing a standard USB Type-A connector and operating under the USB 2.0 specification. It is suitable for extending connections for USB cameras, network-attached storage devices, printers, and other peripherals that do not require USB 3.0 or higher speeds. For optimal performance and to avoid signal degradation, it is recommended to use this cable for extensions up to its rated length of 6 feet, especially when connecting high-bandwidth USB 2.0 devices.

Installation Notes

Connect the male Type-A end to a USB host port (e.g., on a PC, NVR, or switch) and the female Type-A end to the USB device's cable. Ensure the connection is secure. While USB 2.0 is generally robust, avoid routing this cable alongside high-voltage power lines to minimize potential interference. The cable's black PVC jacket provides basic protection for indoor environments.
