⚡ Key Features

10 Metre Length — twice the reach of the 5m cable; place your USB device across the room, through a wall, or up into a ceiling void
USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) — supports data transfer and power delivery for low-power USB devices
Type A Male to Type A Female — standard USB extension; plug any USB device into the female end, male end into your computer or hub
Shielded Cable — blue cable with EMI (electromagnetic interference) shielding to maintain signal integrity over the full 10m distance

💡 Zigbee Dongle Tip: If you’re running a ZBDongle-E or ZBDongle-P on a Raspberry Pi or mini PC, plugging the dongle directly into the USB port causes USB 3.0 interference on the 2.4GHz band — degrading Zigbee performance. Use this extension cable to move the dongle at least 1 metre away from the computer. The extra distance also lets you mount the dongle centrally in your home for better Zigbee mesh coverage.

🏠 Use Cases

📡

Zigbee Coordinator Placement

Move your ZBDongle away from your Pi/PC. Mount it centrally in the house — hallway ceiling, top of a bookshelf — for maximum Zigbee mesh range. 10m reaches most rooms.

📷

USB Camera Mounting

Place a USB camera in a room far from your server. 10 metres of reach covers most single-storey homes from a central server location.

🏗️

Outdoor Sensor Runs

Run a USB cable from your indoor server through a wall to an outdoor sensor or Zigbee dongle. The shielding protects the signal from electrical interference.

🖥️

General USB Extension

Extend any USB peripheral — keyboard, printer, external drive — up to 10m from your computer.

⚠️ 10m Exceeds USB 2.0 Spec (5m Max)
The official USB 2.0 specification allows a maximum cable length of 5 metres. This 10m cable works well for low-bandwidth, low-power devices like Zigbee dongles, simple sensors, and keyboards. However, it may not reliably support high-bandwidth devices (webcams at full resolution, external hard drives) or devices that require full USB power. Do not daisy-chain two extension cables. If you experience signal issues, try a powered USB hub at the midpoint.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work for my Zigbee dongle?

Yes — Zigbee dongles (ZBDongle-E, ZBDongle-P) are low-bandwidth, low-power devices that work perfectly over 10m USB extensions. In fact, SONOFF officially recommends using a USB extension cable to avoid USB 3.0 interference with the 2.4GHz Zigbee signal.

Can I charge my phone with this cable?

Not recommended — over 10m, voltage drop reduces the power available at the far end. Your phone may charge very slowly or not at all. This cable is designed for data and low-power devices, not high-current charging.

Is there a 5m version?

Yes — we stock a 5m USB extension cable which stays within the USB 2.0 specification and is ideal for most Zigbee dongle setups.
