What this cable connects

This BUCIER cable links a USB 2.0 Type B device such as a printer, scanner, piano or external drive to a USB Type A port on a laptop or desktop. The five-metre length gives flexibility for setups where the peripheral sits away from the host computer. It is built for users who need a direct wired link instead of a wireless connection. The gold-plated connectors and foil/braid shielding aim to reduce signal loss over the full run.

Upgrade from shorter or wireless links

The cable replaces shorter USB 2.0 leads that cannot reach distant equipment and avoids the drop-outs sometimes seen with Wi-Fi printing or scanning. Backward compatibility with USB 1.1 at 12 Mbps and USB 1.0 at 1.5 Mbps means older peripherals still work without extra adapters. The jump is worth it when a stable 480 Mbps connection is preferred over a shared wireless channel. No driver installation is required on Mac or PC.

Limits of the USB 2.0 interface

The Type B connector is USB 2.0 only, so it will not operate at USB 3.0 speeds even if the host port supports the newer standard. Maximum throughput stays at 480 Mbps, which is sufficient for document printing and scanning but slower than modern high-bandwidth transfers. The cable carries data and standard USB power; it does not add fast-charging capability to the connected device. Length is fixed at five metres.

Questions about this item

Does the USB Type-B end fit the square port on an HP Deskjet 2540?

Yes, the Type-B connector matches the square USB 2.0 port on the Deskjet 2540 and similar models such as the 3630 and Officejet 5740.

Is any driver needed when plugging the Type-A end into a Windows laptop?

No driver is required; the cable uses the standard USB 2.0 interface so the operating system recognises it automatically.

Will the gold-plated contacts need cleaning or replacement after extended use?

The gold plating resists oxidation, so no routine cleaning or contact replacement is expected under normal indoor use.
