User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this USB extension cable?
This USB 2.0 extension cable supports data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps (megabits per second), which is the full bandwidth of the USB 2.0 specification. It maintains this speed over its 1-meter length with shielded wiring to minimize signal loss, making it suitable for peripherals like external hard drives, printers, and scanners that require reliable high-speed connections.
Can I use this cable to extend a USB 3.0 or USB-C connection?
No, this cable is designed specifically for USB 2.0 connections with Type A male and female connectors. It is not compatible with USB 3.0 or USB-C standards, as those use different wiring and connector designs. For best performance, use it only with USB 2.0 devices and ports to avoid compatibility issues or reduced speeds.
What are the connector types on each end of the cable?
One end features a USB 2.0 Type A male connector with 4 pins, and the other end has a USB 2.0 Type A female connector with 4 pins. This male-to-female design allows you to extend an existing USB cable by plugging the male end into a device or port and connecting the original cable to the female end, effectively adding 1 meter of length.
Is this cable shielded to prevent interference?
Yes, the cable includes full shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), which helps maintain signal integrity and stable data transmission. This shielding, combined with 24/28 AWG wiring, ensures reliable performance in environments with multiple electronic devices, making it suitable for office or industrial use where interference might be a concern.
What materials are used in the cable construction?
The cable uses a flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket for the outer covering, which resists kinking and wear. The connectors are nickel-plated to prevent corrosion and ensure consistent electrical contact. Additionally, the connectors feature molded strain relief to protect the cable from damage at connection points, enhancing durability for frequent plugging and unplugging.
