Cable USB EFB Elektronik K5283-3ASW.1

The EFB Elektronik K5283-3ASW.1 is a 1 m USB data cable with a USB A connector on one end and a reversible USB C plug on the other. 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. The cable is black and intended for high-speed data transfer and device charging within the limits of its profile.

Advantages

This USB cable provides USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds up to 5 Gbit/s and features a reversible Type-C plug for convenient insertion. It supports a maximum electrical current depending on the USB-C power profile (up to 3000 mA) and a maximum power delivery of 15 W. The A-to-C connection makes it compatible with a wide range of hosts and peripherals that accept USB A or USB C.

Suitable for

• Connecting external storage devices (HDD/SSD) to a host with USB A
• Transferring large files between a PC and USB-C capable devices
• Charging and syncing smartphones, tablets, and other USB-C devices within the cable's power limits
• Peripheral connections such as keyboards, mice, and docking stations that support USB 3.2 Gen 1

How to use

Connect the USB A end to a host device such as a computer or charger and insert the reversible USB C plug into the target device. Ensure both devices support the intended USB version and power profiles. For optimal data transfer rates, use ports and devices that support USB 3.2 Gen 1. Avoid forcing the connector; the Type-C plug is reversible and should seat smoothly.

Recommendations

Use the cable within the specified electrical limits: do not exceed the maximum current and power ratings. For consistent high-speed performance, connect to USB 3.2 Gen 1-compatible ports and avoid long cable runs or damage from bending. Inspect connectors periodically and replace the cable if you notice frayed shielding or unreliable connections.
