Connecting SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Devices

This cable links a USB Type-A host to a USB Type-B peripheral such as a printer or scanner. It is built for users who need a short, reliable connection between a computer and a SuperSpeed-capable device. The 1.5 ft length keeps clutter to a minimum on crowded desks.

Practical Limits of the USB 3.0 Interface

The connection operates at USB 3.0 SuperSpeed rates only when both host and peripheral support the standard. A USB 2.0 Type-B port will not accept this plug because the connector includes five extra pins for SuperSpeed data. Maximum throughput is governed by the slowest link in the chain.

1.5 ft Length Decides Fit

At 1.5 feet the cable suits tight workspaces where a longer run would coil or snag. Builders needing to span a greater distance between tower and peripheral should choose a longer cable instead. The fixed length is the single specification that determines whether this part fits the installation.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 1.5 ft cable or a longer one for my printer?

The 1.5 ft length suits setups where the printer sits right next to the computer; measure your desk to decide if you need more slack.

What does the USB 3.0 rating deliver when I plug this into my PC?

It provides SuperSpeed data transfer through the extra five pins on the Type-B connector, using 28AWG data and 24AWG power conductors.

Is the USB Type-B end compatible with the USB 2.0 port on my older printer?

The USB 3.0 Type-B plug is physically larger than a 2.0 Type-B plug, so it will not fit a USB 2.0 Type-B printer port.
