EFB-Elektronik Premium USB 3.0 Extension Cable — USB-A Male to Female, 5 m, Black
USB 3.0 up to 5 Gbps5 m extensionUSB-A male to femaleAWG20 power conductors
The EFB-Elektronik K5237.5 is a five-metre USB 3.0 extension cable from the Premium line, with a USB Type-A plug on the host end and a USB Type-A socket at the far end, carrying data at up to 5 Gbit/s. It is the straightforward way to move a peripheral away from the machine: a webcam on a shelf, a card reader or scanner across a counter, a receiver dongle behind a screen, or a printer on the far side of a desk. The construction is what separates it from a bargain lead — AWG20 conductors on the power pair to limit voltage drop over the distance, AWG30 for the data pairs, and foil plus 80% braid shielding inside moulded plugs. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility — check before buying:
This is a directional extension: the USB-A plug goes into the host — a PC, laptop, hub or dock port — and the USB-A socket at the far end takes the peripheral. It carries data and bus power only, with no video. Be realistic about the length: five metres is beyond the roughly three-metre guideline the USB specification sets for passive USB 3.0. EFB rates this Premium cable at 5 Gbit/s and uses thicker AWG20 power conductors specifically to fight voltage drop, but the result still depends on your host controller and the device at the end — light peripherals such as webcams, keyboards, dongles and flash drives are the comfortable case. Do not chain two extensions together, and if you need to run a bus-powered external drive or an unpowered hub at this distance, use a powered hub near the equipment or an active extension instead. Backwards compatible with USB 2.0 devices.
Key Features
USB 3.0 at up to 5 Gbit/s
SuperSpeed USB throughput rather than the 480 Mbps of a USB 2.0 lead, which matters the moment you put a card reader, scanner, capture device or flash drive at the far end. It steps down cleanly to USB 2.0 hardware, so older peripherals keep working on the same cable.
Premium construction for the distance
AWG20 conductors on the power pair and AWG30 on the data pairs. The heavier power wire is the specific answer to the problem long USB extensions have — voltage sagging at the far end until the device disconnects — and it is the main difference between this and a thin unbranded five-metre lead.
Foil plus 80% braid shielding
Double shielding inside moulded plug bodies keeps the 5 Gbit/s signal intact where the cable runs alongside mains leads, monitors and other equipment. At this length interference is the second failure mode after voltage drop, and shielding coverage is what addresses it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
Long USB runs fail for two reasons: the voltage sags before it reaches the device, or the signal degrades. This cable is built against both — AWG20 power conductors and foil plus 80% braid — which is why it is worth more than a thin five-metre lead that will work for a mouse and drop out with anything else. The honest caveat is that no passive cable makes five metres a specification-compliant USB 3.0 run, so match the length to the load: light peripherals directly on the cable, and a powered hub placed near the equipment whenever a drive, a multi-port hub or several devices are involved. See the rest of our USB cables and adapters for shorter lengths and other connector combinations, or our USB Type-C cables if your laptop only has USB-C ports.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You need to place a USB-A peripheral up to five metres from a computer with USB-A ports at SuperSpeed rather than USB 2.0 speed — a webcam, scanner, card reader, receiver dongle or printer — and you want a properly shielded cable with heavier power conductors rather than a thin generic lead.
Skip it if
Your computer only has USB-C ports, where the USB-C to USB-A version is the right cable; you need video over the run, which USB-A cannot carry; or you plan to feed a bus-powered hard drive or an unpowered multi-port hub at the far end, where a powered hub beside the equipment is the reliable design.
Also consider
EBUSBC-USBA10GE.5, the USB-C to USB-A 10 Gbit/s extension, if your host is USB-C; shorter versions of the same K5237 family where the distance is less and signal margin is higher; or a mains-powered USB 3.0 hub placed near the equipment when several devices or a drive are involved.
