Printer and scanner link

This three-foot cable connects a USB-B peripheral such as a printer or scanner to a standard USB-A port on a computer. It is built to the USB 2.0 specification and supports the 480 Mbps Hi-Speed rate. Foil and braid shielding plus twisted-pair data lines reduce interference for reliable transfers.

Step up from USB 1.1

The cable delivers 40 times the throughput of a USB 1.1 link, so it is worth switching when an older lead caps the connection at the lower rate. The 28 AWG data conductors and 24 AWG power conductors meet the electrical requirements for consistent high-speed operation without signal degradation.

Everyday peripheral duty

It comfortably handles printing, scanning and similar bulk-endpoint traffic at the full 480 Mbps ceiling. The design runs out of headroom only when a device demands a faster signalling standard than USB 2.0 provides.

Questions about this item

Does the 3 ft length reach from a rear motherboard USB-A port to a desk-mounted printer USB-B socket?

The cable measures exactly 3 ft end to end, so it covers short desktop runs; allow a little slack for routing behind equipment.

Is the plug-and-play connection literally just inserting the Type A Male into the host and the Type B Male into the peripheral?

Yes — USB 2.0 handles enumeration automatically, but the step users miss is seating the square Type B plug fully until it clicks; a partial insert causes intermittent 480 Mbps links.

With 28 AWG data pairs and 24 AWG power conductors, does the cable ever need replacement?

The bare-copper wires and foil-plus-braid shield resist fatigue, so only physical damage — crushed jacket, bent connector housing, or corroded pins — would require a new cable.
