USB cable EFB Elektronik K5237.1 USB 3.2 Gen 1 1 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K5237.1 USB 3.2 Gen 1 cable is a 1 m black data cable with USB A connectors on both ends. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1) and enables data transfer rates up to 5 Gbit/s for compatible devices. The cable is designed for everyday connections between computers, external drives, docking stations and other peripherals that use USB A interfaces.

Advantages

This USB cable provides the higher throughput of USB 3.2 Gen 1 while maintaining backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices. The 1 m length balances reach and signal integrity for desktop and mobile setups. Black outer insulation offers a neutral appearance that blends with most equipment and helps hide wear from regular use.

Suitable for

• Connecting external hard drives and SSD enclosures to PCs and laptops
• Linking docking stations or hubs to host computers
• Transferring large files, media libraries and backups between devices
• General-purpose USB A to USB A connections for peripherals that support host-to-host or device chaining

Key specifications

• Connector types: USB A to USB A
• USB standard: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1)
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 5 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 1 metre
• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug each USB A connector into the corresponding USB A port on the two devices you want to connect. Ensure both devices support the intended connection type and that any required host/device roles are configured correctly before transferring data. For maximum transfer speeds, use with devices and ports that support USB 3.2 Gen 1. If connecting to older ports, the cable will operate at the lower supported speed of the legacy interface.

Recommendations

Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Use the 1 m length for typical desktop or laptop setups; if you require longer reach or passive/active signal extension, select an appropriate certified cable or extender. Verify that both connected devices support USB A to USB A connections for your intended use to prevent unintended host-to-host conflicts.
