UGREEN USB-A Male to USB-A Female Extension Cable

UGREEN USB-A Male to USB-A Female Extension Cable 5m (Black)

The UGREEN USB 3.0 extension cable 5m is a Type-A male-to-female passive extender that adds five metres of reach to any USB-A connection without sacrificing SuperSpeed transfer rates. It targets home office users, content creators, and gamers who need to bridge the gap between a desktop or hub and a peripheral positioned well beyond the length of a standard cable. Furthermore, its passive design means no external power supply or signal booster is required for most standard USB 3.0 peripherals.

Five Metres of Reach — Without Compromising Speed

Standard USB-A cables typically measure between 1m and 2m, which rarely reaches printers positioned on a side table, external drives stored in a drawer, or webcams mounted on a wall shelf. The UGREEN 90722 solves this with a full 5-metre run — more than double the reach of the 3m variant — while maintaining the USB 3.0 specification’s 5Gbps ceiling. As a result, users working in larger rooms, open-plan offices, or entertainment setups gain the flexibility to route peripherals wherever the layout demands.

Signal integrity over longer passive cables depends heavily on conductor quality and shielding. Consequently, this cable uses tin-plated bare copper conductors rated to 28/22AWG, with combined foil and braid shielding that blocks EMI and RFI interference. Gold-plated contacts on both the Type-A male plug and the Type-A female receptacle resist oxidation and maintain consistent resistance across thousands of connection cycles. The reinforced PVC jacket adds mechanical protection against repeated bending and cable drag in active desktop environments.

Use Cases & Applications

Large-Room Home Office and WFH Setups

In home offices where the computer tower sits on the floor or behind a monitor arm, standard 1–2m cables rarely reach a desk-mounted webcam, USB microphone, or card reader. This 5m extender bridges that gap cleanly, allowing peripherals to sit at the optimal position for comfort and ergonomics. Additionally, it protects the host machine’s native USB ports from daily wear caused by repeated direct plug-and-unplug cycles.

AV Installations and Wall-Mounted Displays

Flat-panel TVs mounted high on walls present rear-facing USB ports that become unreachable once the display is fixed. This extension cable routes from the recessed port to a more accessible position at furniture level, compatible with USB-powered LED strips, streaming sticks, and media players. Consequently, the cable suits AV integrators and home cinema instalments where cable management requires extra length.

Gaming and VR Peripherals

VR headsets, racing wheels, and full-size gaming peripherals often ship with cables shorter than the play area or desk space requires. The 5-metre run provides enough slack to accommodate a wide VR play zone or a split gaming and streaming station. It works with PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC setups without requiring a powered USB hub for signal maintenance at this passive cable length.

Education and Shared Lab Environments

Computer labs and training rooms frequently arrange workstations in rows where shared peripherals — scanners, label printers, document cameras — serve multiple seats. The 90722’s 5m length covers a typical two-workstation span, while the durable PVC jacket and high bend rating withstand the handling typical of multi-user environments.
