USB cable EFB Elektronik K5293SW.3V2

The EFB Elektronik K5293SW.3V2 is a 3-meter USB 2.0 cable with USB B connectors on both ends. Designed for wired connections between peripheral devices and host equipment, this cable supports a maximum data transfer speed of 0.48 Gbit/s and provides extended reach for flexible placement of printers, scanners and other devices using USB B ports. The construction balances durability and signal integrity to maintain consistent performance in office and home environments.

Advantages

The cable offers a 3 m length that allows greater placement flexibility for peripherals without the need for extension adapters. USB 2.0 compliance ensures compatibility with a wide range of printers, scanners and USB hubs that use USB B connectors. The symmetrical USB B-to-B connectors simplify connections between devices with matching ports, and the cable construction is designed to provide stable data transfer rates up to 0.48 Gbit/s while resisting wear from regular handling.

Suitable for

• Connecting USB-B-equipped printers to host devices or USB hubs
• Linking scanners and multifunction devices to computers
• Temporary or permanent connections in office and home setups requiring 3 m reach
• Use where USB 2.0 data rates and backward compatibility are sufficient

Key specifications

• Connectors: USB B to USB B
• USB standard: USB 2.0
• Maximum data transfer rate: 0.48 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 3 m
• Intended use: data transfer between peripheral devices and hosts

How to use

Connect one USB B connector to the peripheral device (for example, a printer or scanner) and the other USB B connector to the corresponding port on the computer, USB hub or compatible equipment. Ensure both devices are powered according to their manufacturer instructions before initiating large data transfers. For plug-and-play devices, drivers should install automatically; if required, install the manufacturer's driver software on the host device to enable full functionality.

Recommendations

To maintain reliable performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable, route the cable away from high-interference electrical sources, and inspect connectors periodically for dust or damage. For distances beyond 3 m or for higher transfer rates, consider alternative cabling or interfaces that meet the required specifications.
