USB extension cable Cabletech AM-AF 1 m — black

Cabletech USB extension cable AM-AF 1 m in black is a passive USB-A extension designed to increase the reach of existing USB connections while maintaining signal continuity. The cable features a male Type-A connector on one end and a female Type-A receptacle on the other, providing a simple way to extend the length between a host device and USB peripherals without additional drivers or power. Its compact 1 metre length is suitable for desktop setups, home offices and short-range extensions where a discreet, low-profile cable is required.

Advantages

This extension cable supports plug-and-play operation, allowing immediate connection of keyboards, mice, flash drives, printers and other USB-A devices. The passive design avoids the need for external power or configuration, and the molded connectors deliver consistent contact and strain relief. The black jacket offers a neutral aesthetic that blends with most equipment and reduces visual clutter. Constructed for general-purpose use, the cable provides a convenient and cost-effective method to extend USB-A connections.

How to use

Insert the male USB-A connector into the host device or upstream USB cable, then plug the USB-A device into the female receptacle. The cable is plug-and-play and does not require software or additional power. For best results, avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and ensure both connected devices are supported by the host system. If extending a high-bandwidth or power-hungry device, verify device functionality after connection to confirm adequate performance.

Usage recommendations

Use this 1 m Cabletech USB extension for short-distance extensions only. Do not use it as a substitute for certified powered or active extension solutions when long cable runs, high data throughput or increased power delivery are required. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid excessive tension to preserve connector integrity and signal quality.
