USB 2.0 Extension Cable A/A 3 m, MEGA (male-to-female USB A), grey

This 3 m USB 2.0 extension cable from MEGA extends an existing USB A connection with a male-to-female USB A interface while maintaining USB 2.0 data transfer compatibility. The grey insulated cable is designed for adding reach between devices and host ports without changing device connectors and is suitable for common peripherals such as keyboards, mice, printers and external drives.

Advantages

The cable provides a simple and reliable way to lengthen an existing USB A connection while preserving USB 2.0 signalling. Its male-to-female configuration allows straightforward plug-and-play use without adapters. The 3 m length offers extra reach for working around fixed port locations and the neutral grey jacket blends with typical office and home setups.

Suitable for

• Extending connections for keyboards and mice
• Increasing reach for external hard drives and flash storage

How to use

Connect the USB A male end of the extension cable into an available USB A port on the host device. Plug the peripheral’s USB A plug into the female end of the extension cable. The connection supports hot-plugging; the operating system should recognise the attached device automatically. For best results, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable run clear of strong electromagnetic interference sources.

Usage recommendations

Use this USB 2.0 extension for short- to medium-length runs up to 3 m. For high-speed devices requiring USB 3.x bandwidth or for longer distances, consider using a cable or active extender designed for the higher standard. When connecting power-hungry devices, ensure the host port can supply adequate current or use a powered USB hub if needed.
