Universal USB 2.0 printer cable
This 20ft cable connects devices with a USB Type B port such as thermal printers, scanners, MIDI controllers and audio interfaces to computers with a USB Type A port. It is a straightforward link for home offices, studios or small businesses that need a reliable data path. The male-to-male design plugs directly into both ends without adapters.
Copper construction with shielding
High-purity copper conductors and extra shielding layers give the cable a long service life and a stable signal for clear printing and scanning. The 20ft length offers flexibility for routing around desks or through cable trays while the black jacket resists everyday wear. Connectors are moulded for a secure fit that resists accidental disconnection.
USB 2.0 speed ceiling
Data transfer tops out at 480 megabits per second and the cable is backward compatible with USB 1.1 at 12 megabits per second and USB 1.0 at 1.5 megabits per second. It carries data only and cannot supply power to turn on a printer or charge a device. Buyers who need faster throughput or power delivery must choose a different interface standard.
