USB cable EFB Elektronik K5256SW.0,5

The EFB Elektronik K5256SW.0,5 is a 0.5 m USB 2.0 cable with USB A and USB B connectors designed for connecting peripherals such as printers, scanners, external drives and other devices that use standard USB A-to-B wiring. The cable supports USB 2.0 signaling with a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 0.48 Gbit/s and comes in a black jacket that balances flexibility and durability for short-distance connections.

Advantages

This USB cable provides reliable wired connectivity between host devices and peripherals with a compact 0.5 m length that reduces cable clutter and signal degradation over short runs. The standard USB A and USB B connectors are widely compatible with office and home equipment. The USB 2.0 specification ensures backward and forward compatibility with most USB ports while delivering stable data transfer suitable for printing, file transfer and device control.

Suitable for

• Connecting printers and scanners to desktop or laptop computers
• Linking external drives and docking stations with USB B input
• Short-distance data transfers and device control in office setups
• Replacing worn or missing USB A–B cables for peripherals

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB A to USB B
• USB version: USB 2.0 (up to 0.48 Gbit/s)
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Colour: Black
• Intended use: Data transfer and device connection for peripherals

How to use

Plug the USB A connector into the host computer or USB hub and insert the USB B connector into the peripheral device's USB B port. Ensure both connectors are fully seated to establish a secure connection. No additional drivers are required for basic USB 2.0 connectivity on most modern operating systems; the host will typically detect the connected device automatically. For certain devices, install the manufacturer's drivers or software if prompted to enable full functionality.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this 0.5 m cable for short, direct connections between the host and peripheral to minimize interference and signal loss. Avoid excessive bending near the connector ends and keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference for consistent data transfer.
