Review: StarTech's multipurpose dock-style USB 2.0 port does the job - This StarTech 5ft Desktop USB Extension Cable is one of those practical and convenient devices worth having on a desktop when one wants simple and fast access to USB flash drives, USB Wi-Fi adapters and such, especially with a crowded desk. It has a 90Β° vertical port base connected directly to a sturdy 5-foot cable, and once plugged into a computer, allows for convenient placement on the desktop, and eliminates fumbling around when one needs fast access to a USB 2.0 port on the computer. Likes: * Convenience; place your USB 2.0 port where you like it on your desktop * Solid construction; hard rubberized base with a good quality 60" cable * Slightly weighted base; good, stable platform on the desktop * No nonsense product; works easily with PCs or Macs * USB 2.0 extension cord in an easy to use package Dislikes: - Could benefit from nonslip material on the bottom, but that's very subjective This StarTech USB 2.0 extension dock is a good product with a lot of versatility for the user, and offers quite a bit of accessibility on the desktop or working surface when plugged into a computer. Its 60" cable eliminates crawling around under a desk in the dark while trying to locate a USB port on a computer, but if that's not long enough, you might add another USB extension in between, such as this desertcartBasics USB 2.0 A-Male to A-Female Extension Cable (3.3 Feet/1.0 Meter) to extend its reach. I found the female USB plug on the base to be a bit tight. Before using this unit, it helps to insert the male plug from the cord end and move it in and out a few times prior to using it with a USB flash drive, as some of those have fragile plugs. It's a good product, and for my personal needs, it's not just a good moveable port for USB flash drives. It provides an excellent base for my Goal Zero 14101 Luna USB LED Stick Light as an accessory work light on the desktop. Unlike other similar products, this one is weighted just enough to keep the light from getting too tipsy when plugged into the dock-style port, though sometimes a simple adjustment on the flexible neck of the light cures that problem. Having the 90Β° vertical port helps quite a bit. The StarTech 5ft Desktop USB Extension Cable works well as an extension dock in a variety of configurations, and not just as a desktop port for USB flash drives. For the price, it's an excellent deal. For what it offers in versatility and convenience, it's a solid 5-star product, and highly recommended. 10/10/2012 Review: Far sturdier than I thought it would be. - When I ordered this, I'd planned to run it behind one of my monitors, assuming that the female connector wouldn't be all that sturdy and I wanted to keep it out of harm's way as I tend to be very rough with things that are on my desk. This was for the headset I wear while I'm on the phone during the day, which came with far too short a cord to be of any use. This extension cable works perfectly and it won't become disconnected easily, which is a huge plus for me! As always, if something changes, I'll post an addendum here. ## Features - HASSLE-FREE INSTALLATION: The USB 2.0 extension cable removes the hassle of connecting peripheral devices to the back of your computer, making it easy to use and install. - MAXIMUM COMPATIBILITY: The USB extension cord connects to an available USB female port on a Mac or PC computer, allowing you to relocate the USB (female) port up to 5 ft away from the computer case. - EASY TO USE: By extending the USB port away from the computer case, you can situate a USB port in a more practical spot, such as on top of the case or on a desktop with the USB A extension cable. - VERSATILE FUNCTIONALITY: This desktop USB extension cable is the perfect solution for accessing digital cameras, MP3 players, webcams, USB thumb drives or other external USB storage. - Compatible devices: apple ipad air ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001K9BFB8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,595 in USB Cables | | Brand Name | StarTech.com | | Cable Type | Data Transfer Cable | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Connector Gender | Male-to-Female | | Connector Type | USB Type A, USB Type B | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (787) | | Data Transfer Rate | 480 Megabits Per Second | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00065030832083 | | Included Components | Data Transfer Cable | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor, Outdoor | | Item Shape | Round | | Item Weight | 0.08 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | StarTech.com | | Model | STH-USBEXTAA5DSK | | Model Name | Desktop USB Extension Cable | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pins | 4 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Data Transfer | | Recommended Uses For Product | Charging | | UPC | 065030832083 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Lifetime | | Wattage | 10.16 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** StarTech.com - **Cable Type:** Data Transfer Cable - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop - **Connector Type:** USB Type A, USB Type B - **Special Feature:** Data Transfer ## Images ![5ft USB 2.0 Extension Cable - Male to Female - 5 ft USB A to A Extension cord for Laptop, Desktop, Tablet, Webcam & More (USBEXTAA5DSK) , Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81EaPByXmyL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ StarTech's multipurpose dock-style USB 2.0 port does the job *by J***N on October 10, 2012* This StarTech 5ft Desktop USB Extension Cable is one of those practical and convenient devices worth having on a desktop when one wants simple and fast access to USB flash drives, USB Wi-Fi adapters and such, especially with a crowded desk.

Having the Bluetooth adapter directly connected to the PC can cause interference issues, especially with USB 3.0 ports, and I was occasionally experiencing controller dropouts. Using this adapter allows me to move the Bluetooth adapter away from the PC, and directly into line-of-sight of the controller. Also since the adapter is USB 2.0, it does not have the interference issues caused by USB 3.0. Overall this adapter works great for my needs and I've yet to experience any controller dropouts while using it. ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com 5ft USB 2.0 Extension Cable - Male to Female - 5 ft USB A to A Extension cord for Laptop, Desktop, Tablet, Webcam & More (USBEXTAA5DSK) , Black - 4.7 Feet USB 3.0 Extension Cable with Pedestal Male to Female Data Transfer Cord 5Gbps YOUCHENG for USB Flash Drive, Keyboard, Mouse - ARCANITE USB Fingerprint Reader for Windows 11/10 Hello Desktop, Laptop, 0.05s 360-Degree Sensor Security Device Login, Security Lock --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/5098769-5ft-usb-2-0-extension-cable-male-to-female-5](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/5098769-5ft-usb-2-0-extension-cable-male-to-female-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
