FAQ
What devices are compatible with this USB extension cable?
This cable is compatible with any device featuring standard USB Type A ports, including computers, laptops, USB hubs, keyboards, mice, printers, external hard drives, and other USB peripherals. It supports USB 2.0 data transfer protocols, making it suitable for most common USB devices that don't require the higher speeds of USB 3.0 or later standards.
What is the maximum length of this USB extension cable?
The C2G 52106 USB extension cable has a fixed length of 3.3 feet (1 meter). This provides sufficient extension for most workspace scenarios while maintaining reliable signal integrity. For longer distances, multiple extension cables can be connected in series, though signal quality may degrade beyond recommended USB extension limits.
Can this cable be used to charge USB devices?
Yes, this USB extension cable can carry power for charging compatible USB devices, provided the power source delivers adequate current. However, for optimal charging performance, especially with power-hungry devices like tablets or smartphones, direct connection to the power source is recommended as cable extensions can cause voltage drop over distance.
What is the difference between male and female USB connectors on this cable?
The male USB Type A connector has the protruding pins and plugs into USB ports on computers, hubs, or chargers. The female USB Type A connector has the receptacle that accepts standard USB plugs from devices or other cables. This male-to-female configuration allows you to extend existing USB connections by inserting the male end into a port and connecting your device to the female end.
Is this cable RoHS compliant and what does that mean?
Yes, this C2G USB extension cable is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant. This means the cable is manufactured without using certain hazardous materials like lead, mercury, cadmium, and specific flame retardants. RoHS compliance indicates environmentally responsible manufacturing and ensures the cable meets international standards for reduced environmental impact.
