Eaton U324-006-DSK2 Tripp Lite 2 Port USB 3 0 SuperSpeed Extension Cable 6 ft
The Eaton Tripp Lite U324-006-DSK2 is a 2-port USB 3.0 SuperSpeed desktop extension cable that extends an existing USB-A connection up to 6 ft (1.83 m). It provides two accessible USB-A female ports at the desktop end, allowing a USB port that may be located behind a computer or monitor to be positioned within easier reach.
Two-Port Desktop Connectivity
The U324-006-DSK2 uses one USB-A male connector to connect to an existing USB-A port and provides two USB-A female ports at the desktop hub. One port supports USB 3.0 data and power, while the second port is dedicated to power only. This configuration provides a convenient way to relocate USB connectivity to a nearby desktop location.
USB 3.0 Performance
The cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 and USB 3.0 SuperSpeed data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps. The interface is bi-directional, and the cable is backward compatible with previous USB generations.
Power and Construction
The U324-006-DSK2 provides up to 10W (5V/2A) of power to connected devices. Eaton specifies a black PVC jacket, 5.5 mm cable outer diameter, VW-1 cable jacket rating, and over-current protection. The desktop hub uses a padded non-sliding base for placement on a desk or other convenient surface.

DC Supplies Product Note
The key distinction of the U324-006-DSK2 is that its two USB-A female ports do not have identical functions. One port supports both USB 3.0 data and power, while the second is power-only. This makes the model useful when desktop access to both data connectivity and additional device power is needed, but the second port should not be selected when data transfer is required from both ports.
