Cable USB EFB Elektronik K5245SW.0,5V2

The EFB Elektronik K5245SW.0,5V2 is a 0.5 m USB 2.0 cable with USB A and USB B connectors in a black finish. Designed for short-range connections between computers and peripherals, this cable supports USB 2.0 data signaling and a maximum theoretical transfer rate of 0.48 Gbit/s. Its compact length and standard connector pair make it suitable for use where a tidy, reliable connection is required without excess cable slack.

Advantages

This USB cable provides a standard USB A to USB B connection with consistent USB 2.0 performance. The 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter and is convenient for close-proximity device setups. The black outer jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates easily into office or home workspaces. The cable is suitable for reliable data transfer at speeds up to the USB 2.0 specification and for common applications where backward compatibility with USB 1.1 devices may be required.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs or laptops to printers and scanners
• Linking audio interfaces, external drives or other USB B equipped peripherals
• Short-range data transfer on desks, in studios or at service stations
• Replacing worn or missing short USB A–B cables

Key specifications

• Connector 1: USB A
• Connector 2: USB B
• USB version: USB 2.0
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Colour: Black
• Maximum data transfer rate: 0.48 Gbit/s (USB 2.0)

How to use

Plug the USB A connector into the host device such as a computer or laptop and insert the USB B connector into the peripheral device, for example a printer, scanner or audio interface. Ensure both devices are powered on and, if required, install or enable any necessary drivers on the host system. Avoid forcing connectors; they are keyed to fit one orientation. For best results, keep the cable free from sharp bends and do not place heavy objects on it.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m USB 2.0 cable for short, direct connections where neat cable routing is preferred. For longer runs or where higher transfer speeds are needed, consider using a cable rated for USB 3.0/3.1 or a longer length appropriate to the setup. Regularly inspect connector ends for dust or damage and clean gently if necessary to maintain reliable connections.
