What this cable connects

This USB 2.0 cable links a standard Type A port on a PC, Mac or hub to a Type B device such as a printer, scanner or external drive enclosure. The five metre length gives extra reach for desk layouts where the peripheral sits away from the host. It is a straightforward plug-and-play lead for everyday office peripherals.

USB 2.0 speed ceiling

The link tops out at 480 Mbps and falls back to 12 Mbps for USB 1.1 or 1.5 Mbps for USB 1.0 gear, so large file moves will be slower than on a USB 3.0 or later connection. Shielding and twisted-pair construction keep errors down, but the bandwidth limit is fixed by the standard itself. Buyers who need faster bulk transfers should look elsewhere.

Five metre reach

At 16.4 feet the cable spans distances a typical short lead cannot, yet it stays within the USB 2.0 specification for passive copper. If the device sits closer, the extra slack may be inconvenient; if it sits further, a passive cable will not work. Choose this length only when the gap truly measures around five metres.

Questions about this item

Is the 5 m length suitable for connecting a printer across the room?

At 16.4 ft the cable reaches most desk-to-peripheral runs without strain.

What real-world transfer speed will I see with a USB 2.0 external drive?

The link runs at up to 480 Mbps; actual throughput depends on the drive's own USB version.

Does the USB 2.0 Type A to Type B interface limit charging current?

This cable carries data only; it does not negotiate higher power delivery.
