Goobay USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Cable grey 5 m USB A to USB B 0.48 Gbit/s

The Goobay USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Cable grey 5 m USB A to USB B 0.48 Gbit/s is a 5-metre data cable designed for reliable wired connections between computers and peripheral devices. It uses a USB A plug on one end and a USB B plug on the other to connect devices such as printers, scanners and some external storage devices. The cable supports USB 2.0 Hi-Speed data transfer up to 0.48 Gbit/s and is finished in grey for a neutral appearance in office or home setups.

Advantages

This USB 2.0 cable provides stable data transfer at the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed rate and a length of 5 metres that allows greater flexibility in device placement compared with shorter leads. The standard USB A and USB B connectors ensure wide compatibility with printers, scanners and many legacy peripherals. The grey insulation offers a discreet look while the construction is intended to provide consistent signal quality over the full cable length.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop or laptop computers to printers and scanners
• Linking older external hard drives or enclosures that use USB B
• Replacing a worn or short USB A to USB B lead in home or office environments
• Cable runs where a 5 m length is required without active repeaters

How to use

Insert the USB A plug into an available USB port on your computer or hub and connect the USB B plug to the peripheral device. Confirm that the device is powered on and that any required drivers are installed on the host system. For best results, avoid sharp bends and heavy compression of the cable along its length; position it to prevent tripping hazards and to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

Use this cable for direct, short-range connections up to 5 m where USB 2.0 speeds are sufficient. For distances beyond 5 m or for higher bandwidth needs, consider an active cable solution or a USB 3.x cable compatible device. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and cut or frayed cables should be replaced to avoid data errors or device damage.
