USB-A - USB-A -kaapeli MediaRange MRCS241 USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbit/s) 5 m musta

The MediaRange MRCS241 is a 5 m USB A to USB A data cable that supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also referred to as USB 3.1 Gen 1) with a maximum data transfer rate up to 5 Gbit/s. The cable features gold-plated connector contacts and a black jacket for basic protection and reliable signal contact in everyday use. It is intended for extending connections or linking compatible hosts and peripherals where a straight USB-A to USB-A connection is required.

Advantages

The cable provides high-speed data transmission up to 5 Gbit/s, suitable for many common USB 3.2 Gen 1 devices. Gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and help maintain signal integrity. A 5 m length gives extended reach for setups where devices are placed at a distance from each other. The black outer jacket offers a neutral appearance and basic mechanical protection for normal office or home use.

Suitable for

• Connecting or extending USB-A equipped devices in home or office setups
• Linking external storage devices, hubs, or peripherals that support USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds
• Temporary or semi-permanent cable runs where 5 m length is required

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not suitable for connecting devices that require a different connector type (for example USB-C or micro-USB) without an appropriate adapter. It may not deliver maximum performance if used with devices that only support older USB 2.0 speeds or with equipment that requires shielded, industrial-grade cabling. For critical applications requiring guaranteed shielding, ultra-low latency, or rated environmental resistance, a specialized cable should be considered.

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB A to USB A (straight)
• USB version: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1)
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 5 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 5 m
• Connector contacts: gold-plated
• Product colour: Black

How to use

Insert one USB-A plug into the host device and the other USB-A plug into the peripheral or extension port. The cable supports plug-and-play operation with common operating systems; no additional drivers are generally required. Ensure both connected devices support the USB functions and speed you expect—data transfer speeds will default to the highest mutually supported USB version. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, heavy crushing, or sources of electromagnetic interference to maintain reliable performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm both devices have USB-A ports and support USB 3.2 Gen 1 if high-speed transfer is required
• Check whether a USB-A to USB-C or other adapter is needed for compatibility
• Consider whether a shorter cable, shielded cable, or industrial-rated cable is more appropriate for demanding environments

Recommendations

Use the MediaRange MRCS241 for general-purpose high-speed data transfers and device connections in home and office environments. Avoid placing heavy objects on the cable, keep connectors clean, and store the cable loosely coiled when not in use to prolong service life.
