EFB K5248SW.1,8 USB 2.0 Extension Cable Type-A Male to Type-A Female 1.8 m Black

When a standard USB cable just isn't long enough, the EFB K5248SW.1,8 steps in with a practical 1.8-metre reach that keeps your devices connected without forcing you to rearrange your workspace. This extension cable puts a female USB Type-A port exactly where you need it, so you can plug in printers, scanners, keyboards, or even a USB drive without crawling under the desk. Built around the proven USB 2.0 standard, it handles everyday data tasks at up to 480 Mbps while still being fully backward compatible with older USB 1.1 gear. The black PVC jacket and nickel-plated connectors are made for daily use, and the double shielding (foil plus braid) keeps interference away from your signal. Whether you're extending a charging cable or adding a convenient front-facing port, this cable does the job quietly and reliably.

• USB 2.0 high-speed data transfer up to 480 Mbps
• Double shielded with foil and braid to block EMI/RFI
• Nickel-plated connectors resist corrosion and wear
• Backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices

In daily use

Imagine your desktop PC is tucked behind a monitor stand or under a desk, and the USB ports are awkward to reach. With this extension cable, you can bring a female USB port right to the edge of your desk or even mount it on a wall. It's perfect for connecting a USB headset, a memory card reader, or a wireless mouse receiver without bending over. The 1.8-metre length gives you enough slack to route the cable neatly along a desk edge or through a cable management channel. Because it's USB 2.0, it's also a great way to extend a charging cable for a smartphone or tablet, though for faster charging you'd want a dedicated charging cable. For data tasks like syncing a camera or transferring files from a USB stick, the 480 Mbps speed is more than adequate for most everyday uses.
