USB 3.0 A to B cable for printers and peripherals

This three-foot cable connects a USB 3.0 Type A host port to a USB 3.0 Type B device port. It is built for users who need reliable SuperSpeed links between desktop PCs or laptops and printers, scanners, external drives or other USB 3.0 peripherals. The male-to-male design plugs directly into standard ports without adapters.

Shielded twisted-pair construction reduces

The 28 AWG tinned-copper conductors use a 65 % braid shield and nickel-plated connectors to limit electro-magnetic noise. UL VW-1 rating confirms the jacket meets flame-test requirements. Plug-and-play operation works on both PC and Mac platforms, and the cable carries power for bus-powered devices so no separate supply is needed.

Backward compatible with USB 2.0 hosts and devices

When connected to USB 2.0 ports the link runs at 480 Mbps, preserving functionality with older hardware. The 4.8 Gbps SuperSpeed bandwidth is available only when both host and device support USB 3.0. RoHS compliance ensures restricted substances are absent from the materials.

Questions about this item

How does the 28AWG gauge affect signal integrity over a full day of 4.8 Gbps transfers?

The 28AWG tinned copper conductors with 65% braid shielding maintain the USB 3.0 Hi-Speed rating, reducing electromagnetic interference during sustained high-throughput use.

Does the nickel-plated connector or the 65% braid shielding generate noticeable heat when the cable runs continuously at 4.8 Gbps?

Nickel connectors and 65% braid shielding are passive components; they do not produce measurable heat during continuous USB 3.0 data transfer.

Must my printer or scanner already have a USB 3.0 Type B port to use this A-to-B cable?

Yes, the device end requires a USB 3.0 Type B receptacle; the host end needs a USB 3.0 Type A port for full 4.8 Gbps operation.
