USB Cable UNITEK Y-271 5m USB 2.0 Grey

The UNITEK Y-271 USB Cable 5m USB 2.0 in grey is a long-reach USB A to USB A cable designed for data transfer and charging between devices with USB A ports. With a five-metre length and USB 2.0 specification, it provides extended connectivity for home and office setups where distance between devices is greater than standard cable lengths. Gold-plated contacts improve conductivity and help reduce oxidation over time.

Advantages

The cable offers extended reach while maintaining USB 2.0 data transfer performance and compatible charging capability. Its gold-plated contacts provide improved electrical contact and corrosion resistance. The grey outer jacket provides a neutral appearance that blends into most environments and reduces visual clutter. Durable construction supports repeated plug cycles and everyday use.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to peripherals with USB A ports at a distance (printers, scanners, external drives)
• Extending USB connections in office desks, living rooms or conference rooms
• Temporary or semi-permanent setups where a longer USB A to A cable is required
• Charging and syncing devices that support USB 2.0 over A-to-A connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB A to USB A
• USB standard: USB 2.0
• Cable length: 5 m
• Contacts: gold-plated for improved conductivity
• Colour: grey outer jacket

How to use

Insert one USB A connector into the host device and the other USB A connector into the peripheral device, ensuring both ports are compatible with USB A. For data transfer, establish the connection and use the operating system’s file transfer utilities or device-specific software as required. For charging, connect to a USB A power source capable of providing the device’s required current. Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and ensure ports are aligned before insertion.

Recommendations

Use the cable for moderate-length connections where USB 2.0 speed is sufficient. Do not use the cable to connect two computers for network file sharing unless both systems explicitly support A-to-A connections through appropriate hardware or software. Store the cable coiled without tight knots, keep it away from heat sources, and disconnect by gripping the connector housing rather than pulling the cable.
