USB Extension Cable Deltaco USB 2.0 20m

The Deltaco USB 2.0 20m extension cable provides a straightforward solution for increasing the physical reach of USB A devices. With USB A male to USB A female connectors and a 20 m length, the cable is designed for connecting peripherals where direct placement near the host is not possible. Nickel-plated contacts improve contact reliability and resist corrosion, while the USB 2.0 specification supports data transfer rates up to 0.48 Gbit/s for standard USB peripherals.

Advantages

This USB extension cable offers long-distance connectivity without requiring additional active repeaters for short runs, maintaining a consistent USB A interface between host and device. The nickel-plated contacts help preserve signal integrity and contact life. The cable’s black jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for home and office environments, and the simple male-to-female connection makes it compatible with a wide range of existing USB A devices and hubs.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Extending the reach of USB printers, scanners or external hard drives located away from a computer
• Connecting keyboards, mice or other USB peripherals when desk layout requires extra length
• Temporary setups for presentations, workshops or events where devices must be positioned remotely
• Linking USB hubs positioned closer to end devices to reduce cable clutter near the host

Key specifications

• Connector configuration: USB A male to USB A female
• Cable length: 20 m
• Data transfer rate: up to 0.48 Gbit/s (USB 2.0)
• Contact plating: nickel-plated contacts for corrosion resistance
• Colour: black

How to use

Plug the USB A male end into an available USB A port on the host device and connect the USB A female end to the peripheral’s USB A plug. Ensure both connected devices are powered according to their own requirements. For best results, avoid tight bends and sharp kinks in the cable along the run and route the cable away from large sources of electrical interference. If the connected device requires more power than a passive cable can deliver, use a powered USB hub or connect the device directly to the host.

Usage recommendations

Use this cable for passive extension of USB 2.0 peripherals within the supported length. For high-bandwidth devices, USB 3.x peripherals or long runs that exhibit signal loss, consider active extenders, powered hubs, or shorter cable runs to ensure stable operation.
