ACT USB 2.0 A Plug – USB A Socket Ivory 5.00 m, SB2205

The ACT USB 2.0 A male to USB A female ivory 5.00 m cable (model SB2205) is a simple extension cable designed to extend an existing USB A connection while maintaining USB 2.0 data transfer rates up to 0.48 Gbit/s. The cable features USB A male and USB A female connectors and is finished in an ivory color. Nickel-plated connector contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable signal contact for repeated insertions.

Advantages

This 5.00 m USB 2.0 extension cable allows you to increase the reach of an existing USB A connection without changing device configuration. The USB 2.0 compatibility preserves full-speed and high-speed transfers up to 0.48 Gbit/s for peripherals that operate within this standard. Nickel-plated contacts increase connector longevity and reduce contact resistance. The ivory color offers a discreet appearance suitable for office and home environments.

How to use

Connect the USB A male end to the host computer or an upstream USB port and plug the USB A female end into the existing USB device cable or peripheral.

This cable does not change USB protocol capabilities; connected devices will operate according to their own USB version.

Recommendations

Use this ACT USB 2.0 extension for peripherals and devices that support USB 2.0 speeds. For devices requiring USB 3.x transfer rates or powered charging beyond standard USB 2.0 limits, use a cable and ports that explicitly support those specifications. Store the cable coiled without tight loops and inspect connectors periodically for debris or damage to maintain reliable connections.
