USB EXTENSION CABLE WHITE 3M AD-UE-102

An ADNET USB Extension Cable 3M is designed to extend the reach of your USB devices. Here’s a breakdown of its typical description and specifications:

General Description:

• Purpose: To lengthen an existing USB connection, allowing you to connect USB peripherals (like printers, scanners, keyboards, mice, flash drives, Wi-Fi dongles, etc.) further away from your computer, TV, or other USB host device.
• Connectors: It typically features a USB Type-A Male connector on one end (to plug into your computer’s USB port) and a USB Type-A Female connector on the other end (to connect your device’s USB cable).
• Length: 3 meters (approximately 9.8 feet).
• Color: Often white or grey, though other colors may exist.
• Material: Usually a high-quality PVC jacket for durability, with copper conductors inside.
• Plug-and-Play: Generally requires no additional drivers or software installation; simply plug it in.

Key Features & Specifications (Common for ADNET 3M USB Extension Cables):

• USB Version: Most commonly USB 2.0, supporting data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps. Some ADNET models might also offer USB 3.0 versions, which provide much faster data transfer rates (up to 5 Gbps). It’s important to check the specific product’s details for this.
• Backward Compatibility: If it’s a USB 2.0 cable, it will be backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices. If it’s USB 3.0, it will be backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1.
• Shielding: Often features foil and braid shielding to reduce EMI/RFI interference and ensure clear, error-free data transmission.
• Power Support: Designed to handle increased device current draw to provide power to devices that require it.
• Applications: Widely used for:
  • Connecting printers and scanners.
  • Extending the reach of keyboards and mice.
  • Plugging in USB flash drives or external hard drives from a more convenient location.
  • Connecting Wi-Fi dongles or other network adapters for better signal placement.
  • Using with webcams, game controllers, and other peripherals.
  • Extending connections for TVs and other multimedia devices.

Important Note: While a 3-meter USB extension cable is generally effective for extending reach, for very long distances (beyond 5 meters for USB 2.0 or 3 meters for USB 3.0), or for devices with high power demands, an active USB extension cable (which includes a signal amplifier or chipset and often an external power source) might be necessary to ensure reliable performance. Some ADNET models may offer active extension cables as well.
