Manhattan USBEXTAA3BK USB-A to USB-A Extension Cable

Manhattan USB-A to USB-A Extension Cable (1 m) extends the reach of USB devices and enables reliable connections between computers and USB-powered peripherals. Designed for USB 2.0 transfers up to 480 Mbps, the cable features gold-plated contacts, full foil and braided shielding, and moulded boots with strain relief to reduce EMI and maintain signal integrity over longer distances.

Advantages

The cable supports Hi-Speed USB 2.0 data rates up to 480 Mbps and is constructed with gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity. Full foil and braided shielding minimise electromagnetic interference, while moulded boots with strain relief protect the connection and reduce wear. Its 1 m length and USB-A male to USB-A female configuration make it simple to extend existing USB connections without changing devices.

How to use

Plug the USB-A male end into an available USB-A port on your computer or hub, then connect the USB-A device to the female end of the extension cable. Ensure connectors are fully seated to maintain reliable data transfer. The cable supports typical USB 2.0 peripheral connections such as printers, external drives and input devices without additional drivers.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid coiling the cable tightly or placing it near strong sources of electromagnetic interference. Use the 1 m extension where a short, stable extension is needed; for longer runs, consider active or powered USB extenders to preserve signal quality.
