Cable USB EFB Elektronik 3,0 m USB 2.0 A/B K5255SW.3

The EFB Elektronik 3.0m USB 2.0 A/B K5255SW.3 is a black 3-metre data cable with male USB A and USB B connectors designed for connecting computers to peripheral devices that use a USB B interface. It supports the USB 2.0 specification with a maximum theoretical transfer rate of 0.48 Gbit/s, offering a reliable wired connection for printers, scanners and other compatible equipment. The cable's length allows flexible placement of devices while maintaining signal integrity for typical office and home use.

Advantages

The cable provides a standardized USB A to USB B connection that is widely compatible with many legacy and current peripherals. Its 3 m length reduces the need to position devices directly next to the host computer, while the black jacket offers a neutral appearance and helps hide wear over time. Compliance with USB 2.0 ensures interoperability with USB ports and devices that support the same standard.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers or laptops to USB-B equipped printers
• Linking scanners and multifunction devices to a host PC
• Establishing wired connections for external audio interfaces or other USB-B peripherals
• Temporary or permanent data connections in office and home environments

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB A (male)
• Connector 2: USB B (male)
• USB version: USB 2.0 (up to 0.48 Gbit/s)
• Cable length: 3 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug the USB A connector into a USB Type-A port on your computer or hub and insert the USB B connector into the corresponding port on the peripheral device. Ensure both ends are fully seated to establish a proper electrical connection. After physical connection, verify that the computer recognises the device; install any required drivers according to the peripheral manufacturer's instructions. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from high-interference sources such as large transformers or unshielded power cables.

Recommendations

Use this cable for devices that specify USB 2.0 A/B connections. For devices requiring higher data rates or USB 3.x features, select a cable and host/peripheral combination that explicitly supports those standards. Replace the cable if the outer jacket is damaged or if connectors become loose to maintain reliable data transfer and device performance.
