Know before you buy
This cable is designed to help you relocate a USB-B port to a more accessible location, such as the exterior of a custom enclosure, system case, or control panel.
This is a USB 2.0 cable, which supports data transfer speeds up to 480 Mbps. It is suitable for most standard peripheral connections but will not reach the higher speeds of USB 3.0 or 3.1 standards.
While it can be used externally, it is specifically engineered for internal system configurations where you need to mount a port into a chassis or panel. The 3ft length provides enough reach to connect internal components to a fixed port on your case.
No, this is a passive cable. It does not require power, drivers, or software to function; it simply acts as an extension for your existing USB connection.
This cable features an unshielded design. It is best suited for standard environments where significant electromagnetic interference is not a concern.
