USB A to USB A cable DELOCK 81511 — USB 2.0, 0.5 m, black, gold-plated contacts

DELOCK 81511 is a 0.5 m USB 2.0 cable with USB A connectors on both ends, designed for short connections between devices with standard USB A ports. The cable supports USB 2.0 data transfer rates up to 0.48 Gbit/s and can carry power to connected peripherals. Gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability, while the compact black jacket keeps the cable unobtrusive in desktop or mobile setups.

Advantages

The gold-plated contacts reduce oxidation and ensure more consistent electrical contact over time. With a 0.5 m length the cable minimises excess slack and clutter for tidy installations or tight workspaces. The USB 2.0 specification provides compatible data transfer performance for most mice, keyboards, external drives, printers and other common peripherals. The cable is finished in black for a neutral appearance that integrates with most equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting peripherals with USB A ports where a short link is required
• Extending an existing USB A connection over a short distance
• Data transfer and basic power supply for USB devices supporting USB 2.0
• Use in desktop, office or point-of-sale setups with limited cable space

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB A to USB A
• USB standard: USB 2.0 (High Speed, up to 0.48 Gbit/s)
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts for improved reliability
• Colour: black

How to use

Connect one USB A plug to the host or upstream device and the other USB A plug to the peripheral or downstream device. Ensure both devices support USB A connections and the required USB 2.0 functionality. The cable carries both data and power according to the USB 2.0 specification; no additional drivers are required for basic connectivity with most operating systems and devices.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable. Use the 0.5 m length where a short, direct connection is needed to reduce cable clutter. If you require higher data rates or longer runs, consider cables supporting newer USB standards or active/extender solutions.
