USB 2.0 Extension Cable ShiverPeaks 1.8 m — A Plug to A Socket, Ferrite, Gold-Plated Contacts

ShiverPeaks USB 2.0 extension cable, 1.8 m long with A plug to A socket, extends the reach of USB A devices while preserving signal integrity. The cable supports USB 2.0 High Speed data transfer and includes a ferrite choke to reduce electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated contacts improve conductivity and resist corrosion, making this extension suitable for extending connections to printers, external drives, keyboards, mice and other USB A peripherals.

Advantages

This USB 2.0 extension cable provides reliable High Speed data transmission up to USB 2.0 specifications while minimizing signal degradation over the extended length. The integrated ferrite choke suppresses EMI and helps maintain connection stability in environments with electrical noise. Gold-plated contacts ensure low contact resistance and improved durability compared with non-plated connectors. The A plug to A socket format is compatible with a wide range of standard USB A devices and host ports.

Suitable for

• Extending the reach of USB A peripherals such as printers and external hard drives
• Connecting keyboards and mice where extra cable length is needed
• Temporary or permanent workstation cable routing to reduce strain on device ports
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where ferrite suppression is beneficial

Key specifications

• Cable type: USB 2.0 extension, A plug to A socket
• Length: 1.8 m
• Data standard: USB 2.0 High Speed compatible
• Connector plating: gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance
• EMI suppression: integrated ferrite choke
• Color: white

How to use

Insert the A plug into the host USB A port or into an existing USB A cable plug, then connect the A socket to the peripheral’s USB A plug. Ensure connectors are fully seated to maintain a secure electrical connection. The cable is passive and requires no additional drivers or power beyond the connected devices. For best performance, avoid tight bends near the connectors and keep the cable away from high-power electrical lines when possible.

Usage recommendations

Use this extension for short to medium length extension needs up to 1.8 m where USB 2.0 speeds are sufficient. If USB 3.x speeds or charging at higher currents are required, choose a cable designed for those standards. Regularly inspect connectors for debris or damage and avoid excessive pulling on the cable to prolong service life.
