Tripp Lite U024-006 Usb 2.0 Extension Cable 6 Feet

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE U024-006 is a 6-foot USB 2.0 extension cable designed to extend the reach of existing USB connections between a host device and a USB peripheral. It features gold-plated connectors that help maintain a reliable signal path and resist corrosion over repeated connect-disconnect cycles. This cable is suited for IT professionals, AV installers, and trade technicians who need to extend keyboard, mouse, scanner, or other USB 2.0 device connections without signal degradation. The cable ships as a single unit and is ready to install out of the box.

This extension cable is applicable in commercial and light-industrial environments where USB peripherals need to be positioned farther from a host port than a standard cable allows. Typical use cases include AV rack setups, workstation builds, point-of-sale installations, and commercial projector configurations where the source device and the connected peripheral are separated by up to 6 feet. It is installed by AV technicians, IT integrators, and system installers working with USB 2.0 equipment.

Key Features

• 6-foot cable length extends USB 2.0 peripheral reach
• Gold-plated connectors resist corrosion and support reliable signal contact
• USB 2.0 standard supports data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps
• Single-unit packaging for straightforward inventory and installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard USB 2.0 Type-A male to Type-A female extension cable for use with USB 2.0 host devices and peripherals.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools and no power shutdown for hot-pluggable USB devices. Ensure the host port and peripheral both support USB 2.0 before installing. Do not daisy-chain multiple passive USB extension cables beyond the USB 2.0 specification limit, as this can cause signal loss or device enumeration failures. NEC and local codes may apply when routing cables through walls or plenum spaces.
