Logitech - USB cable - USB male - 5 m

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

At £19.39 ex‑VAT for a 5m Logitech USB cable, this is one of those “boring but dependable” purchases. If you’ve got a real need—like placing a USB barcode scanner, webcam, or a peripheral a decent distance from the PC—long cables are one of those costs you don’t notice until you try to stretch a short one and everything starts acting flaky. Logitech generally gets the basics right: solid strain relief, sensible build quality, and fewer “mystery disconnects” than cheap no-name leads.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it just because it says “Logitech” if you’re only connecting something close by. USB over length can be sensitive to the port/controller quality and the device power draw, and if you’re paying a premium for a long cable when a 1–2m option will do, you’re not getting value for money. Also, since it’s a standard USB lead (not a charging cable or an adapter solution), make sure you actually need a passive USB cable—not a USB‑C or specific protocol for a particular dock/accessory. Buy it if you want reliability in the office or warehouse and you truly need the 5m run; skip it if the device sits near the workstation and you just want the brand.
