Microconnect USBAA5B USB cable USB 2.0 5 m USB A Black

The MicroConnect USBAA5B is a 5 m USB 2.0 cable with male USB-A connectors on both ends, designed to connect external USB devices with USB Type-A or USB Type-C hosts (via appropriate adapters). It supports data transmission up to 0.48 Gbit/s and features nickel-plated contacts for improved durability. The cable’s black colour and extended length make it suitable for connecting devices over longer distances without significant signal loss.

Advantages

The cable provides reliable USB 2.0 data transfer at up to 480 Mbps and is compatible with a wide range of hosts and devices using USB-A interfaces. Nickel-plated contacts enhance contact longevity and corrosion resistance. A 5 m length allows flexible placement of devices where short cables are impractical.

How to use

Connect one male USB-A plug to the USB host (computer, notebook, USB hub or wall plug with USB-A port) and the other male USB-A plug to the peripheral device. If the device uses USB-C, use a compatible USB-A to USB-C adapter. Ensure both devices are powered on and the operating system recognises the connected peripheral; drivers may be required for some devices. Avoid sharp bends and excessive force when inserting or removing connectors.

Recommendations

The cable is designed for USB 2.0 data rates; for higher-speed devices consider cables compliant with USB 3.x or USB 4 standards. For stable connections over long distances, avoid running the cable parallel to high-power electrical lines and inspect connectors regularly for damage.
