USB Cable S/CONN 5m USB 2.0 A - USB 2.0 B Grey

The S/CONN 5m USB 2.0 A - USB 2.0 B Grey cable by ShiverPeaks provides a 5 metre connection between USB A and USB B devices compliant with USB 2.0. Designed for data transfer and device connectivity, the cable features male USB A and USB B connectors and nickel-plated contacts for improved contact reliability and corrosion resistance. With a maximum data transfer rate of 0.48 Gbit/s, this cable is intended for peripherals and equipment that rely on the USB 2.0 standard.

Advantages

This 5 m USB 2.0 A to USB 2.0 B cable offers extended reach while maintaining USB 2.0 compatibility and stable data transfer up to 0.48 Gbit/s. Nickel-plated contacts reduce oxidation and support consistent electrical contact over repeated insertions. The grey jacket provides a neutral appearance that integrates easily into office or home setups. The cable’s straightforward construction focuses on reliable connectivity between host devices and USB-B peripherals.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting printers, scanners and some external drives to computers
• Linking USB-B equipped audio interfaces or mixers to a host PC
• Extending reach between workstation and USB-B peripherals in offices or studios
• Temporary or semi-permanent desktop cable routing where 5 m length is required

Key specifications

• Connectors: USB A (male) to USB B (male)
• USB version: USB 2.0
• Maximum data rate: 0.48 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 5 m
• Contact plating: nickel-plated contacts
• Colour: grey

How to use

Plug the USB A connector into the host device (for example a computer or USB hub) and insert the USB B connector into the target peripheral (such as a printer, scanner or audio device). Ensure both devices are powered according to their own instructions before data transfer. Use gentle alignment when connecting to avoid stress on the connector shells; do not force the plugs if they do not seat easily. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and prolonged compression of the cable along its length.

Recommendations

For stable operation, keep cable runs below the recommended 5 m where possible and avoid running the cable parallel to high-power AC lines to reduce electrical interference. Replace the cable if connectors show signs of wear or if data errors occur. This cable is intended for USB 2.0 speeds; if higher transfer rates are required, consider a cable and devices supporting newer USB standards.
