USB 2.0 Type-A to Type-B cable for printers

This six-foot white cable connects a standard USB Type-A host to a Type-B device such as a printer or scanner. It uses 28 AWG data conductors and 24 AWG power conductors with gold-plated connectors for corrosion resistance. The cable is compatible with both PC and Apple systems.

Signal integrity over the full 6.00 ft length

The 28 AWG data pair and 24 AWG power pair are sized to maintain USB 2.0 signalling across the full 1.8288 metre run without the voltage drop seen on thinner leads. Gold plating on both male connectors reduces contact resistance during repeated insertion cycles. Heavy-gauge construction supports reliable enumeration and sustained throughput for typical print and scan workloads.

28/24 AWG conductor gauge decides suitability

The mixed-gauge design is the single specification that determines whether this cable meets a given device’s power and data requirements. Buyers who need USB 3.0 or higher bandwidth, or who require a Type-C or Micro-B connector, cannot use this part.

Questions about this item

Does the 28 AWG data and 24 AWG power wire gauge generate noticeable heat during long print jobs?

The cable uses 28 AWG data conductors and 24 AWG power conductors, which are rated for standard USB 2.0 current levels and do not produce noticeable heat in normal operation.

My printer only has a USB Type-B port — will this cable connect directly to my computer's USB Type-A port?

Yes, it has a USB Type-A male connector on one end and a USB Type-B male connector on the other, matching the standard printer-to-PC link.

Will the gold-plated connectors work reliably with an older USB 1.1 hub I still use?

The cable is backward compatible with USB 1.1 ports, so it will function at the lower speed when connected to that hub.
