USB-A to USB-A Cabletech cable 5 m, grey, model KPO2782-5 - USB data cable

Cabletech USB-A to USB-A cable, model KPO2782-5, is a 5 m grey USB data cable designed for direct connections between devices that feature standard USB-A ports. The cable supports data transfer and can carry power where devices and host ports permit, providing a simple solution for linking peripherals, external drives, or other USB-A-equipped devices at extended distances in home, office, or workshop settings.

Advantages

The 5 m length reduces the need to position devices adjacent to one another while maintaining a standard USB-A interface for broad compatibility. Its grey jacket offers a neutral appearance suited to many environments. The cable is intended for straightforward plug-and-play use with devices that accept USB-A to USB-A connections, enabling data exchange and power delivery when supported by the connected hardware.

Suitable for

• Connecting external hard drives or SSD enclosures with USB-A ports to host devices
• Linking USB-A peripherals such as hubs, printers, or scanners at longer distances
• Temporary direct connections between two compatible USB-A devices in office or workshop setups
• Situations where a 5 m cable run is required without changing device interfaces

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB-A to USB-A (both ends standard USB-A)
• Length: 5 meters
• Color: Grey
• Primary function: Data transfer with potential power delivery when supported by devices
• Typical usage environment: Home, office, workshop

How to use

Connect one USB-A plug to the host or source device and the other USB-A plug to the target device with a compatible USB-A port. Ensure both devices are powered on and that their firmware or operating systems permit USB-A to USB-A connections for the intended function (data transfer or power). Avoid forcing connectors into ports; align them and insert gently until seated. After use, unplug by gripping the connector housing rather than pulling on the cable jacket.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid running the cable tightly coiled or bent sharply, and keep it away from sources of excessive heat or liquids. Verify device compatibility for direct USB-A to USB-A connections—some devices may require a different cable type or an adapter. If powering a device over USB, confirm the host port’s power output specifications to prevent unintended behavior.
