Product Description
A 5m USB 2.0 extension cable extends any USB A male to female connection by an additional five metres without loss of signal or data transfer quality. It suits jobs where the host device, hub, or PC sits too far from the USB peripheral to connect directly.
Where it fits on a job
- Retail and office installs — extending runs to printers, card readers, or USB peripherals mounted away from the till or desk.
- Residential blocks — running a USB connection from a hub to a device in another room or cupboard.
- CCTV installations — extending the reach of USB-powered CCTV cameras where the camera sits beyond the length of the supplied cable.
- Warehouse setups — connecting devices positioned well away from the controlling PC or hub.

Selecting the right cable
Confirm the total run length needed before ordering — this cable adds 5m to an existing USB lead or hub port. Because it's active, it's designed to maintain signal integrity across the full 5m run rather than simply extending a passive cable, which matters for longer CCTV or peripheral runs on a job.
