UGREEN US103 5m USB 2.0 Extension Cable – USB-A Male to Female, 480Mbps (10318)
UGREEN US103 · Product 10318 Put a USB-A port within easy reach—5 metres away The UGREEN US103 extends an existing USB-A connection using one male plug and one female socket. It is a practical way to reposition compatible keyboards, mice, printers, scanners, controllers and other USB 2.0 peripherals when the computer or USB port is inconveniently placed. 5m / 16.4ft USB 2.0 Up to 480Mbps USB-A Male to Female Passive Extension Plug and Play What this cable does Connect the USB-A male plug to a computer, powered USB hub or another compatible USB-A host port. The USB-A female socket becomes the new connection point for your peripheral. This is especially useful behind a desktop, under a desk, beside a TV cabinet or anywhere a USB port is difficult to reach. A simple extension for everyday USB peripherals Input devicesExtend a wired keyboard, mouse, game controller or USB receiver to a more convenient position. Office equipmentReach a compatible printer or scanner while keeping the computer in its preferred location. USB storageUse with compatible flash drives and self-powered storage at USB 2.0 speeds. Power-hungry bus-powered drives may require a powered hub. Hard-to-reach portsBring a rear or recessed USB-A port closer so accessories can be connected without repeatedly moving equipment. Important 5m usage guidance This is a passive USB 2.0 extension cable. At 5 metres, the extension itself is already a long passive USB run. The attached peripheral cable, connector quality and device power requirement can affect reliability. Do not daisy-chain additional passive USB extensions. For bus-powered hard drives, high-power webcams, capture equipment or other demanding hardware, use a powered USB hub or a suitable active repeater extension. Not recommended for phone charging or fast charging. Voltage drop increases over a long cable run. USB 2.0 data Up to 480Mbps theoretical signalling rate Transfer files and communicate with compatible USB peripherals at USB 2.0 High-Speed rates of up to 480Mbps. Actual throughput varies with the host port, device, file type, operating conditions and total cable path. Please note: this is not a USB 3.x/SuperSpeed cable. It can fit many USB 3.x Type-A ports, but the connection operates at USB 2.0 speed. Shielded construction Built for a cleaner USB signal path The cable artwork identifies 28/24 AWG tinned-copper conductors together with aluminium-foil shielding, braided shielding, a ground wire and a PVC outer jacket. This layered construction is designed to help limit everyday electromagnetic interference while keeping the cable practical to route. Reinforced connection points Moulded connector housings and flexible strain-relief sections help support the cable at the points that are handled most often. Flexible 5m cable The black PVC jacket is designed for flexible routing around a desk, entertainment unit or office equipment. Choose it for the right device Device or use Suitability What to know Keyboard, mouse, controller, USB receiver Generally suitable The host and peripheral must support the same USB connection. Printer or scanner Suitable in many setups Include the printer/scanner's own USB cable when considering the total cable run. USB flash drive Compatible at USB 2.0 speed Actual data throughput is lower than the 480Mbps theoretical rate. Self-powered USB device Preferred for long runs A device with its own power supply does not depend on the cable for all operating power. Bus-powered HDD/SSD, high-power webcam or capture device Use with caution A powered hub or active USB extension is the safer choice. Phone charging or fast charging Not recommended This 5m cable is designed and positioned primarily as a USB 2.0 data extension. HDMI/DisplayPort video extension or network cable Not compatible This cable only extends a compatible USB-A connection. Three-step setup 1Check the ports Confirm that the host has a USB-A port and the peripheral has a USB-A male plug or compatible USB cable. 2Connect the extension Insert the cable's male USB-A plug into the host, then connect the peripheral to the female socket. 3Let the host detect it The cable itself requires no driver. Any software or driver requirement comes from the connected peripheral.

Your required length is 5 metres / 16.4 feet. USB 2.0 speed is sufficient; this cable does not provide USB 3.x/SuperSpeed performance. Your peripheral does not require more bus power than a long passive connection can reliably supply. For a printer or scanner, remember that its own USB cable adds to the total cable length. Frequently asked questions Is this cable 5m or 100cm long?It is the 5-metre / 16.4-foot version, model US103, product code 10318. “100cm” in the old product title is incorrect and should be removed. What is the connector configuration?One end is a USB-A male plug and the other is a USB-A female socket. It extends an existing USB-A connection; it does not convert USB-A to USB-C, Micro-USB, Mini-USB, HDMI or another connector. Is it USB 3.0?No. It is a USB 2.0 cable with a theoretical signalling rate of up to 480Mbps. It may fit a USB 3.x Type-A port, but the connection will operate at USB 2.0 speed. Does it amplify or repeat the USB signal?No. Product 10318 is a passive extension cable without an amplifier or repeater chipset. For a longer combined run or demanding equipment, choose a suitable active USB extension or powered hub. Can I use it with a keyboard, mouse or game controller?These lower-power USB peripherals are common use cases. Compatibility still depends on the host, peripheral and total cable path. Can I extend a printer or scanner cable?Yes, in many USB 2.0 setups. Connect the printer or scanner's existing USB cable to the female socket. Because that original cable adds to the total run, operation cannot be guaranteed for every device and installation. Will it work with an external hard drive or SSD?Self-powered storage is the safer choice. A bus-powered HDD or SSD may not receive enough stable power across a 5m passive extension. Use a powered hub if the device disconnects, is not detected or has a high power requirement. Can I use it to charge a phone?Charging is not the recommended purpose of this 5m variant. A long passive cable introduces voltage drop and will not provide modern fast-charging protocols. Use a suitable charger and charging cable instead. Does it require a driver?The cable itself is plug and play and needs no driver. The connected peripheral may still need its own driver or software and must support the computer's operating system. Can I connect two extension cables together?Daisy-chaining passive extensions is not recommended. At 5m, this cable is already a long USB 2.0 run, and additional length can cause data or power instability. Can it carry video to a monitor or projector?It only extends a USB-A connection. It does not replace an HDMI or DisplayPort cable and does not add video-output capability to a USB port. UGREEN India Assurance Genuine UGREEN product supplied with a GST invoice.
