Cable type and audience

This is a USB 3.0 Type A Male to Type B Male cable built for connecting printers, scanners, keyboards and similar peripherals to a host computer. The 28AWG tinned-copper conductors and nickel-plated connectors support the 4.8 Gbps SuperSpeed specification while remaining fully backward compatible with USB 2.0 hosts and devices. It serves desktop and laptop users who need a reliable link for standard USB-B peripherals. It is not for buyers who need USB-C or Micro-B connectors.

Thermals noise and power

As a passive copper cable it generates no audible noise and adds negligible heat to the system. The 65% braid shielding and shielded twisted-pair construction suppress electromagnetic interference so data integrity is maintained without active cooling or extra power draw. UL VW-1 rating confirms the jacket meets standard flammability requirements. No ferrite cores are fitted, keeping the cable flexible for routing.

Bundled items and software

No software, drivers or additional accessories are included in the package. The cable relies on native USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 stack support in Windows and macOS for plug-and-play operation. RoHS compliance confirms the materials meet restricted-substance regulations. The only functional change comes from the cable itself enabling the 4.8 Gbps link where the port and device both support USB 3.0.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the USB 3.0 A Male and B Male ends, and which way round is the B plug?

Insert the rectangular A plug into the host port and the square B plug into the device port; both connectors are keyed so they only fit one way.

Will the nickel-plated connectors or the 28AWG tinned-copper conductors degrade and need replacement?

Nickel plating resists oxidation and tinned copper resists corrosion, so no scheduled replacement is required under normal use.

At what point does the 65% braid shielding stop preventing errors during a long 4.8 Gbps transfer?

The 65% braid and shielded twisted-pair construction maintain signal integrity for the full USB 3.0 Hi-Speed 4.8 Gbps rate over the cable's length.
