The included cable for the BP50NB40 is a USB 2.0 cable with a Micro-B connector on the drive end. The use of a standard extension cable may work, but we cannot guarantee proper functionality. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-8x-external-usb-2-0-blu-ray-disc-double-layer-dvdrw-cd-rw-disc-rewriter-black/9243009.p?skuId=9243009 If you have any other questions, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport and our team will be more than happy to assist you.
