InLine USB 2.0 extension cable Type-A plug/socket, transparent, with ferrite, 1m

The InLine USB 2.0 Extension Cable Type A M/F (1 m) is a transparent extension cable designed to extend USB connections while maintaining data transfer speeds up to 480 Mb/s (USB 2.0). It features a male-to-female Type A connector pair and an inline ferrite bead to reduce electromagnetic interference, suitable for use with devices that have USB 2.0, USB 1.1 or USB 1.0 ports.

Advantages

The transparent 1 m cable provides a simple method to extend the reach of USB devices without changing the interface. The inline ferrite helps suppress interference for more stable transfers, and the Type A male-to-female configuration ensures broad compatibility with standard USB ports. The cable supports the full USB 2.0 transfer rate of 480 Mb/s for data devices that require that bandwidth.

Suitable for

• Extending connection to printers, external drives and scanners
• Connecting USB peripherals to a PC or hub at greater distance
• Temporary or permanent cable routing where a short extension is needed

How to use

Plug the Type A male end into the host device or upstream cable and connect the Type A female end to the downstream USB device or cable. Ensure both devices are powered on if they require external power. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and do not force connectors into ports; they should seat firmly with minimal resistance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this USB 2.0 extension for devices that operate at USB 2.0 speeds. Avoid using multiple chained extensions if possible, as each additional connection can increase the risk of signal degradation; if longer reach is required, consider a single longer certified cable or an active USB extension solution.
