Overview

The Monoprice 108608 is a 15-foot USB 2.0 A Male to A Female extension cable designed to bridge the gap between your computer and peripherals that are just out of reach. It is particularly useful when you have a device with a proprietary connector or a fixed USB cable — such as a wireless adapter, webcam, or AC adapter — that cannot simply be swapped for a longer cable. The A-female port on the far end accepts any standard USB-A male plug, making this a universal extension solution.

The cable uses 28 AWG conductors for the data lines and heavier 24 AWG conductors for the power lines, which helps maintain stable voltage delivery over the full 15-foot run. Gold-plated connectors on both ends resist oxidation and ensure consistent electrical contact, reducing the chance of intermittent connection issues over time. At 15 feet, the cable sits just under the USB 2.0 specification's recommended maximum passive cable length, so it should work reliably with most compliant devices without requiring an active repeater or hub.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • 15-foot length provides substantial reach for peripherals placed far from the computer.
  • Gold-plated connectors resist corrosion and maintain reliable contact over time.
  • Separate 24 AWG power conductors and 28 AWG data conductors support stable power and data delivery.
  • Works as a universal extension for any USB-A cable with a proprietary or fixed connector on the other end.

👎 Cons

  • USB 2.0 speed is limited to 480 Mbps, which is slow for large file transfers compared to USB 3.0.
  • At 15 feet, the cable is near the USB 2.0 maximum recommended length, which may cause issues with some sensitive devices.
  • White color may show dirt and wear more readily in studio or shop environments.
  • Passive cable with no signal boosting, so performance may degrade if combined with other extensions.

Frequently Asked Questions

It has a USB 2.0 Type-A male connector on one end and a USB 2.0 Type-A female connector on the other, functioning as a standard extension cable.
It uses 24 AWG conductors on the power lines, which supports standard USB power delivery, but the 15-foot length may result in some voltage drop for power-hungry devices.
USB 3.0 devices will connect and function through this cable, but data transfer speeds will be limited to USB 2.0 rates (up to 480 Mbps).
While physically possible, chaining USB extension cables beyond the USB 2.0 specification limit of 5 meters (about 16 feet) can cause signal degradation. An active USB extension or hub is recommended for longer runs.
