Amazon Basics USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable — 32 ft, USB-A M/F, 480 Mbps

Overview

Extend your USB reach with the Amazon Basics USB 2.0 Active Extension Cable. Its sleek black jacket and 32-foot length give you flexibility to place peripherals where you work, while keeping data flowing at USB 2.0 speeds for everyday tasks.

Designed as a Type A male to Type A female extension, this active repeater inside helps preserve signal integrity over longer runs. That means printers, scanners, keyboards, mice, speakers, and portable storage can sit farther from your computer without frequent reconnects or data gaps.

What you get and how it performs

• 32 feet (9.75 m) of extension, ideal for roomy desks and multi-device setups.
• USB 2.0 data transfer up to 480 Mbps, sufficient for standard peripherals and everyday tasks.
• Integrated repeater helps maintain signal quality over distance for more reliable connections.
• Bus-powered single-port USB hub capability means you can connect one device through the cable without a separate power supply.

Compatibility and real-world use

The extension works with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices and is well suited for printers, scanners, speakers, USB display adapters, external storage, keyboards, and mice. Note that it is not intended for charging smartphones or tablets, and may not be ideal for webcams, high-power devices, or home theater gear.

Tips for best results

• Avoid tight coils and keep the cable away from heat sources to minimize wear and signal loss.
• Route along desk edges or under carpets to reduce foot traffic and accidental tugs.
• Keep the extension separate from power cables to reduce potential electrical interference.

What’s in the box

Includes a 32-foot Type A to A USB 2.0 active-repeater extension cable ready to plug in and use with compatible devices.

Important notes

While it operates within USB 2.0 standards, this extension is not a substitute for powered hubs when multiple high-draw devices are used. Verify device power needs before use.
