This handy USB extension cable will make it easy to enclose a device with an A-type (USB host) port. We think this would be most handy when putting a Beagle Bone, Raspberry Pi, or Mintyboost into a box.

The jack half has two mounting ‘ears’ with 8mm M3 screws installed, 30mm apart. The ears are flexible, so the holes don’t have to be drilled very precisely. Can be used with box walls up to 0.25″ wide. The screws can be put on from the back for ‘reverse’ mounting if the box thickness is a problem. Entire unit is 13.2″ long from tip to tip (with 9.4″ cabling between USB connectors).

• Panel mount USB type A socket with USB type A plug at the cable end
