Everyday connection for printers and scanners
This 13 ft cable links USB Type A hosts to Micro USB peripherals such as printers, scanners and storage drives. It supports data-transfer rates up to 480 Mbps and remains backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices. The length suits desktop setups where the device sits away from the computer. Black Box Corporation supplies it new for routine office or home use.
Steady throughput on long runs
Shielded twisted-pair construction helps maintain signal integrity across the full 13 ft during sustained transfers. The USB 2.0 specification caps bandwidth at 480 Mbps, so extended bulk endpoints such as large print jobs or drive backups run at that ceiling without degradation. No active electronics are present, so latency and power draw stay constant over time.
Durable moulded ends for daily plugging
Both connectors are moulded male plugs — Type A at the host side and Micro USB at the device side — with strain relief that resists cable fatigue from repeated insertion. The black PVC jacket resists abrasion and routes cleanly behind desks or along trunking. The pinout follows the standard USB 2.0 Type A to Micro USB wiring, ensuring broad peripheral compatibility.

Questions about this item
Does the 13 ft length add any power loss or heat during all-day use?
The cable is passive and carries only the standard USB 2.0 power allowance, so it does not generate measurable heat or draw extra power during continuous operation.
What port must my device already have to plug this cable in?
You need a USB Type A port on the host side and a Micro USB port on the peripheral side for the connectors to mate.
Will this cable work with my USB 1.1 printer without slowing it down?
Yes, the cable is backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices and will run at the printer's native 1.1 speed.
