USB cable EFB Elektronik K5280SW.5 5m USB 3.2 Gen 1 Black

The EFB Elektronik K5280SW.5 5m USB cable is a 5-metre black data cable with USB A connectors on both ends and USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) support, designed for reliable wired connections between devices that use standard USB A ports. With a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 5 Gbit/s, this cable is intended for fast file transfers, backups and peripheral connectivity where extended reach is required without using adapters.

Advantages

This USB cable provides consistent signal transmission over a 5 m length while maintaining the USB 3.2 Gen 1 specification for up to 5 Gbit/s throughput. The matched USB A-to-A connectors ensure compatibility with devices and hubs that accept standard USB A plugs. Its black jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for home, office or professional environments, and the single-cable solution avoids the need for intermediate extenders when connecting distant devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting external hard drives, SSD enclosures or docking stations to host computers with USB A ports
• Extending reach between PCs, hubs or USB-capable AV equipment where USB A-to-A connections are supported
• Transferring large files or performing backups that benefit from USB 3.2 Gen 1 bandwidth

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB A to USB A
• USB standard: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1), up to 5 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 5 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Insert one USB A connector into the host device (computer, hub or compatible device) and the other USB A connector into the peripheral device. Ensure both devices support USB A connections and that any device requiring bus power is connected to a USB port capable of providing sufficient current. After physical connection, allow the operating system to recognise devices and install drivers if required; transfer files or use connected peripherals as usual.

Recommendations

For reliable high-speed transfers, avoid running the cable near large sources of electromagnetic interference and avoid tight bends. If connecting devices that require a guaranteed power supply from USB, verify the host port can supply the needed current or use a powered hub. Before prolonged professional use, confirm both endpoints support USB 3.2 Gen 1 to achieve the stated transfer speeds.
