Cable USB EFB Elektronik K5236.1 USB 3.2 Gen 1 1 m

The EFB Elektronik K5236.1 USB cable is a 1 m black data cable with USB A to USB B connectors designed for high-speed wired connections. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1) with a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 5 Gbit/s, enabling fast file transfers and reliable communication between compatible devices while maintaining a compact and durable form factor.

Advantages

This cable provides a standardized USB A to USB B connection compatible with devices that accept a B-type plug, offering the performance of USB 3.2 Gen 1 for improved throughput compared with USB 2.0. Its 1 m length balances reach and cable management for desktop and rack setups, while the black jacket delivers a discreet, professional appearance. The cable is suitable for stable wired data transfer and is built to industry connector dimensions for straightforward plug-and-play use.

Suitable for

• Connecting printers and scanners to desktop or workstation USB A ports
• Linking external drives, audio interfaces or instrumentation with USB B sockets
• Data transfer and device communication in office and studio environments
• Temporary or permanent wired setups where a 1 m cable is adequate

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB A
• Connector 2: USB B
• USB standard: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1)
• Maximum data rate: up to 5 Gbit/s (theoretical)
• Cable length: 1 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug the USB A end into a host device such as a PC, laptop or hub and insert the USB B end into the peripheral device that accepts a B-type connector, for example a printer, scanner, or certain external drives and audio interfaces. Ensure both devices support USB 3.2 Gen 1 to achieve the highest data rates; if either device supports only an earlier USB version, connection will fall back to the lower supported speed. Handle the connectors by their molded housings and avoid excessive bending near the cable ends to maintain performance and longevity.

Recommendations

For best performance, connect directly to a USB 3.x host port rather than through an unpowered hub, and avoid routing the cable parallel to power cords or strong electromagnetic sources. Inspect connectors for debris before mating and store the cable coiled without sharp bends when not in use.
