USB 2.0 cable Renkforce 1487688, 0.3 m, black, gold-plated contacts

The Renkforce USB 2.0 cable (0.3 m) is a short, flexible connection lead intended for reliable data transfer and device charging at USB 2.0 speeds. Housed in a black jacket with gold-plated contacts, the cable provides corrosion-resistant connector surfaces and compact dimensions that minimise clutter when linking PCs, peripherals and portable devices over short distances.

Advantages

The cable features gold-plated contacts for improved contact reliability and corrosion resistance, and its 0.3 m length reduces excess cable and signal attenuation for near-field connections. The black outer jacket offers standard protection against everyday wear while maintaining a low-profile appearance. Designed for USB 2.0 compatibility, the cable supports typical USB data rates and charging currents for devices that operate within the USB 2.0 specification.

Suitable for

• Connecting a PC or laptop to an external peripheral (printer, scanner, external HDD) over a short distance
• Linking portable devices (media players, small docking stations, handheld devices) to a host for data sync
• Short-range charging of USB 2.0-compatible devices where a compact cable is preferred
• Replacing a worn or lost short USB lead for everyday desktop setups

Key specifications

• Interface standard: USB 2.0 compatible
• Length: 0.3 m
• Contact finish: gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance
• Cable colour: black
• Design: flexible jacket for short, low-profile connections

How to use

Connect the appropriate USB plugs to the host device and the peripheral, ensuring correct orientation before insertion. For data transfer, allow both devices to establish a connection and wait for the operating system to recognise the peripheral. For charging, confirm the connected device accepts USB 2.0 charging currents. Avoid pulling on the cable to disconnect; instead, grip the connector housing when unplugging to preserve connector integrity.

Recommendations

Use this short Renkforce USB 2.0 cable where a compact, low-clutter connection is needed. Keep the cable free from extreme bending near the connector ends and avoid exposure to moisture or corrosive environments to maintain contact reliability.
