USB Cable USB 2.0 ShiverPeaks BS13-24055 5m Black

The ShiverPeaks BS13-24055 USB cable is a 5 metre black USB 2.0 lead with USB A connectors on both ends, designed for connecting and extending USB devices where longer reach is required. It supports USB 2.0 signalling with a maximum data transfer rate up to 0.48 Gbit/s and incorporates magnetic shielding to reduce interference and improve signal stability over the extended length.

Advantages

This USB A to USB A cable provides extended reach without active repeaters, enabling placement of peripherals or temporary device connections at a distance from the host. The magnetic shielding reduces electromagnetic interference, helping maintain reliable data transfer and reducing the risk of dropped connections. The black exterior and standard USB A connectors ensure compatibility with a wide range of computers, chargers, hubs and USB peripherals that use type A sockets.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops or media players to USB A peripherals at longer distances
• Extending the reach of existing USB A devices such as external drives, printers or controllers
• Temporary workstation setups where a 5 m cable run is needed
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is beneficial

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB A to USB A
• USB standard: USB 2.0 (up to 0.48 Gbit/s)
• Cable length: 5 m
• Shielding: magnetic shielding for interference reduction
• Colour: black

How to use

Insert one USB A connector into the host device (computer, hub or power source) and the other USB A connector into the peripheral device. Ensure connectors are fully seated to establish a stable connection. For best performance, avoid tightly coiling the cable while in use and keep it away from large sources of electromagnetic noise. The cable is plug-and-play with devices that support USB 2.0 and backward compatible with USB 1.1 speeds.

Recommendations

For reliable operation at the full USB 2.0 rate, use the cable with devices and ports that support USB 2.0. When routing the 5 m cable, avoid running it in parallel with high-voltage power lines to minimize potential interference; secure excess length with gentle loops rather than sharp bends. If you require active signal boosting or higher transfer speeds, consider a cable or adapter designed for USB 3.x or an active repeater solution.
