StarTech USBPNLAFAM2M 2m Panel Mount USB Cable USB-A Male to Female Extension USB 3.2 Gen 1 5Gbps
The StarTech USBPNLAFAM2M is a 2m panel mount USB cable featuring USB-A male to female connectors designed to extend USB 3.2 Gen 1 connections with data transfer speeds up to 5Gbps. This extension cable provides a reliable and tidy solution for adding an easily accessible USB port to faceplates, custom enclosures, instrument panels, or computer dashboards. Built with a flexible black TPE cable jacket, it combines durability with practical routing capabilities for both professional and consumer setups.
This panel mount USB cable enables a secure and fixed installation thanks to the integrated mounting flanges and screws on the female USB-A connector, which prevent loosening in high-use or vibration-prone environments. It maintains full USB 3.2 Gen 1 performance to support rapid data transfers and peripheral power delivery without signal degradation. By relocating a standard port, it reduces wear and tear on the primary hardware ports of computers, hubs, or host devices while creating a cleaner, more organized workspace layout.
This cable may not be suitable for applications requiring USB Power Delivery beyond standard 15W peripheral power or distances greater than 2 meters without active signal repeaters. It is also not intended for permanent outdoor exposure unless housed within an appropriately protected and weather-sealed enclosure.
To use this cable, insert the male USB-A connector into an available USB port on your host computer, hub, or charging device. Secure the female USB-A connector onto your desired panel, bracket, or faceplate using the integrated mounting holes and screws, ensuring the port is properly aligned and firmly tightened before plugging in external peripherals.
Usage recommendations: Plan your cable routing carefully to avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force near the panel mount connector to ensure long-term mechanical stability and consistent signal performance.
