What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026

A 3-foot USB 2.0 extension cable designed specifically for use with APH's Digital Talking Book Cartridge — it gives users more physical reach between the cartridge and the USB port on their accessible book player or computer. This is an accessory for people who find the short default connection awkward to manage, particularly useful when a player is mounted, docked, or positioned at a distance. This is not a standalone product — it only makes sense paired with the APH Digital Talking Book Cartridge (1-02609-00). Worth noting that APH explicitly excludes this item from Quota fund eligibility, so schools and programs that use Quota funds for other APH products will need an alternate funding source here.
