Description

StarTech USB3SEXT2MBK 2m USB 3.0 Extension Cable

Overview

The StarTech USB3SEXT2MBK provides an additional 2 meters (6.6 ft) of reach for your SuperSpeed USB 3.0 devices. This is critical for positioning peripherals like webcams, external hard drives, or USB-based sensors further from the host computer without sacrificing data transfer speed. It's designed to maintain signal integrity for devices requiring a stable connection over extended distances, such as in a surveillance setup where a camera might be placed just out of reach of the primary USB port.

Compatibility

This USB 3.0 extension cable is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, though it will operate at the slower speeds of those standards. It supports USB 3.0 data transfer rates up to 5Gbps, making it suitable for high-bandwidth devices like external SSDs, high-resolution webcams, and USB 3.0 capture devices. It functions with any standard USB Type-A host port on PCs, Macs, or NVRs.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 24/28 AWG wire gauge construction with foil shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference and ensure signal integrity over its 2-meter length. Nickel-plated connectors offer durability and corrosion resistance. The operating temperature range is -10~50°C (14°F to 122°F), suitable for many indoor environments. Storage temperature is 10~30°C (50°F to 86°F) with a humidity range of 25%-50% RH.
