Connection for printers and peripherals
This USB 2.0 cable connects a Type B device such as a printer, scanner or external drive to a Type A port on a PC or Mac. It supports high-speed transfer up to 480 Mbps and remains compliant with USB 1.1 at 12 Mbps and USB 1.0 at 1.5 Mbps. The 9.8 foot length gives flexibility for desktop layouts. Foil and braid shielding plus twisted-pair construction reduce interference and crosstalk for error-free data transfer.
Replacing shorter or damaged USB 2.0 A-to-B cables
The jump is worth it when the existing lead is too short for a new desk arrangement, when the connector housing is cracked, or when intermittent errors suggest shielding failure. It restores full 480 Mbps throughput for compatible peripherals without requiring driver installation. Buyers who need USB 3.0 speeds or USB-C connectors cannot use this cable.
Simple plug-and-play installation
Both ends are male so the cable seats directly into the host port and the device port with no adapters. The moulded strain relief resists cable fatigue at the connector junction. The most common issue is forcing the Type B plug upside down, which can bend the internal pins; align the flat side before pushing. Ensure the host port supplies sufficient power for bus-powered devices.

Questions about this item
Will the 9.8‑foot length reach my printer across the desk?
The cable is 9.8 feet (3 meters) long, giving plenty of slack for typical desk‑to‑printer runs without stretching.
Do I need drivers to make the USB 2.0 Type‑A to Type‑B connection work?
No drivers are required; the cable is plug‑and‑play on both PC and Mac for printers, scanners and other USB 2.0 peripherals.
How often should I replace the foil‑and‑braid shielded cable to keep 480 Mbps speeds?
The shielding and twisted‑pair construction are built for long‑term use; replace only if the connectors become loose or the jacket shows physical damage.
