USB kabel EFB Elektronik 3,0m USB 3,0 A/B K5236.3

The EFB Elektronik 3.0m USB 3.0 A/B K5236.3 is a 3 metre black USB data cable with USB A male and USB B male connectors. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also referred to as USB 3.1 Gen 1) and is specified for data transfer rates up to 5 Gbit/s. The cable is designed to connect host devices such as PCs or laptops to peripherals like printers, scanners and some external storage devices equipped with a USB B port. Its length provides greater placement flexibility for devices that are not adjacent to the computer.

Advantages

The cable offers SuperSpeed USB transfer speeds up to 5 Gbit/s, backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices, and standard Type A to Type B connectors for wide peripheral compatibility. The three-metre length reduces the need for repositioning equipment and simplifies cable routing. Its black jacket delivers a neutral, unobtrusive appearance suitable for office and home installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers or laptops to printers and scanners
• Linking external hard drives or docking stations that use a USB B port
• Setting up workstations where the USB host and peripheral are separated by up to 3 metres
• Replacing worn or damaged A-to-B cables for office equipment

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB A male
• Connector 2: USB B male
• USB standard: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1), SuperSpeed up to 5 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 3 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect the USB A male end to the host computer or USB hub and plug the USB B male end into the peripheral device. Ensure both devices are powered according to their own requirements before initiating data transfers. For optimal performance, use the cable with devices and ports that support SuperSpeed USB; when connected to USB 2.0 or 1.1 ports the transfer speed will default to the lower standard. Do not force connectors into ports; align the rectangular and squarer plugs correctly to the matching sockets.

Recommendations

For reliable SuperSpeed performance keep cable runs under 3 metres without excessive bending or tight coils, avoid placing the cable near high-power electrical sources that may cause interference, and inspect connectors periodically for debris or damage. If using with sensitive peripherals, confirm that the device accepts a direct USB A to B connection and that both host and peripheral firmware/drivers are up to date.
