UGREEN USB 2.0 A Male to A Female Extension Cable, 1.5m, Black (10315)

UGREEN · SKU 10315UGREEN USB 2.0 A Male to A Female Extension Cable, 1.5m, Black Bring a hard-to-reach USB port closer to your desk with the UGREEN 10315. This 1.5m extension cable has a USB-A male plug at one end and a USB-A female socket at the other. It extends an existing USB connection for a keyboard, mouse, controller, flash drive or compatible peripheral, with USB 2.0 data transfer up to 480Mbps. Instead of reaching behind a desktop computer every time you connect a peripheral, you can leave the extension connected and bring its female socket to a more convenient position. It can also help position a small USB receiver or give an existing peripheral cable more room. Choose this model for a straightforward USB-A extension at USB 2.0 speeds. The added reach is 1.5m; the full connection also includes any cable already attached to the peripheral. Key features Reach USB ports easily Place the female socket where it is convenient to reach instead of repeatedly stretching behind a desktop computer.Extend an existing cable Add 1.5m of physical reach to a compatible USB-A connection without replacing the peripheral cable.USB 2.0 data connection Supports transfers at up to 480Mbps. Actual speed also depends on the computer, connected device and the rest of the cable path.Simple plug-in use The extension itself needs no driver or power adapter. Any driver required by the connected peripheral still applies. Where it fits Desktop access Bring a rear USB port to the front of your workspace for a flash drive or another frequently connected accessory.Keyboard and mouse placement Give a USB-A keyboard, mouse or wireless receiver more freedom of position around a desk.Controllers and accessories Extend a compatible controller or accessory lead when the original cable stops short of a comfortable position. Will it work with your setup? Designed for standard USB-A connections and USB 2.0 peripherals. USB 3.x devices that support USB 2.0 can connect at USB 2.0 speed. A printer with a USB-B socket still needs its normal USB-A-to-USB-B printer cable; this lead extends the USB-A end. Setup and everyday use Connect the USB-A male plug to a compatible computer or USB host port. Plug the peripheral or its existing USB-A cable into the female socket. Check that the device is recognised and working before routing the cable behind furniture. For an unstable connection, test the peripheral directly at the computer, then reconnect the extension without additional hubs or chained extension leads. Test the peripheral in its final position before fastening the cable route. Leave the female socket somewhere accessible, support any heavy connected adapter, and make sure the total length includes the peripheral cable as well as this 1.5m extension. A closer look Before you buy It does not provide USB 3.x data speeds, video output or a new USB-C port. It extends one USB connection and does not add multiple ports like a hub. The combined cable length and a peripheral’s power needs can affect reliability. Avoid chaining multiple passive extensions. Technical specifications SKU 10315 Series US103 Connectors USB-A male to USB-A female Length 1.5m USB standard USB 2.0 Maximum data rate 480Mbps Colour Black Cable role USB extension Frequently asked questions How does the male-to-female connection work?Insert the USB-A male plug into the host computer USB port, then plug your peripheral or its existing USB-A cable into the female socket. The extension moves that connection 1.5m away from the original port. It does not replace a device cable with a different connector at its device end. Check that the plug you want to extend is standard USB-A before choosing this model.Can I use it with a keyboard, mouse or wireless receiver?Yes, it can extend compatible USB peripherals such as a keyboard, mouse or USB receiver. This can make the connection easier to reach or let you position a receiver away from the back of a desktop computer. The peripheral keeps its usual setup requirements and functions. If you are troubleshooting a wireless issue, the final receiver position and surrounding equipment can still affect performance.Will it work when plugged into a USB 3.0 computer port?It can connect to a compatible USB-A port on a computer, including ports used for newer USB standards, but the extension provides USB 2.0 data transfer up to 480Mbps. A faster host port does not change the cable specification. For a storage device where USB 3.x transfer speed matters, choose an extension that supports the device speed throughout the connection.Can it extend a flash drive or external storage connection?It can extend a compatible USB storage connection at USB 2.0 speeds, with the actual transfer rate also depending on the drive and computer. A bus-powered hard drive may have additional power requirements, and extra cable length can affect reliability. If a drive disconnects or fails to start, test it directly at the computer before adding an extension, hub or another cable to the path.Will the cable give me extra USB ports?No, this is a single USB-A extension with one plug and one socket. It brings one existing connection closer to you. A USB hub serves a different purpose by allowing several peripherals to share a host connection. If you need multiple ports at a desk, choose a suitable hub and consider whether its connected devices need the additional power of an externally powered model.Can I use it with a printer or scanner?It can extend the USB-A end of a compatible printer or scanner cable. Connect the extension to the computer, then connect the existing device cable to the extension socket. The printer or scanner still needs its normal power supply, drivers and device cable. Check the combined cable length and test the complete connection before fixing the route behind furniture or relying on it for regular work.Does it support charging a connected USB device?It extends the USB connection, but charging behaviour still depends on the USB source, device, existing lead and total cable route. This model is primarily a USB 2.0 extension and should not be chosen on an assumption of a particular fast-charging wattage. For a device that needs reliable charging at a specified power level, use a cable and charger combination suitable for that requirement.Can I connect several extensions together?Avoid chaining multiple passive extensions when a single suitable cable can cover the route. Each additional connection adds length and another plug-and-socket junction, which can affect both the data signal and available power at the peripheral. Consider the cable already attached to the device as part of the total. For a longer route, choose a USB extension solution designed for that distance and peripheral.What should I check if my peripheral disconnects?Test the peripheral directly in the computer port first, then reconnect it through this extension. Check that both USB connections are fully inserted and that the cable is not under tension. If the device uses an external power supply, confirm that it is connected. For a storage device or another power-sensitive peripheral, try removing additional hubs or cables to identify which part of the setup affects reliability.
