ACT USB 2.0 A Male - USB A Female Black 5.00m

ACT USB 2.0 A Male - USB A Female Black 5.00m | Extend a USB A connection with five metres of cable

Without an extension, a USB connection has to reach directly from one port to the other. This ACT cable gives you five metres to work with: it has a USB A male connector at one end and a USB A female connector at the other, so it can extend a connection made with a USB A plug. It’s a straightforward option when the existing cable doesn’t reach the place you need it to. The cable is black and uses the USB 2.0 standard. That’s the useful detail to focus on when planning a setup; the connector shape and the available cable length determine whether it suits the route you have in mind. Measure the path between the connection points, rather than just the gap between them, and allow for bends along the way. This is a practical extension cable, without extra features to weigh up.

Plan the cable route

Five metres gives you room to place connected equipment farther from the USB A port, but it’s still worth mapping the route before setting everything up. A cable routed around a desk, past furniture or along a wall uses more length than a straight-line measurement suggests. Leave enough slack at each end to make the connections without pulling the cable tight. Also consider where the female end will sit: it needs to be reachable for the USB A plug you intend to connect. These simple checks help you judge whether this length and connector arrangement fit your setup. If they do, the cable offers a simple way to bridge the distance without moving the connected equipment closer.
