What this cable does

This Monoprice 138604 cable connects USB 3.0 Type-B peripherals such as printers, scanners, external hard drives and hubs to a host USB 3.0 Type-A port. It is built for users who need a reliable SuperSpeed link for standard desktop devices.

The spec that matters

The USB 3.0 Type-B plug carries five extra pins over the USB 2.0 version, enabling SuperSpeed data transfer on this 6.00 ft run. Without that connector shape the cable cannot deliver USB 3.0 performance to Type-B equipment.

How it fits your setup

Thinner 32awg conductors and a TPE jacket make the cable more flexible, so it routes cleanly behind desks or through tight cable-management channels. It frees you from stiff, bulky leads while keeping full USB 3.0 bandwidth for compatible devices.

Questions about this item

What does the 6.00 ft length mean when I route this cable behind my desk?

The 6.00 ft (1.8288 m) span lets you reach a floor-standing tower or a monitor-arm hub without pulling tight, while the thinner 32awg conductors and TPE jacket keep the bend radius small enough for tight cable channels.

How does the USB 3.0 Type-B connector differ from the older 2.0 version on my printer?

The USB 3.0 Type-B plug adds five extra pins that carry SuperSpeed data, so the cable can run at the 3.0 signalling rate instead of falling back to 2.0 speeds.

Will the 32awg conductors and TPE jacket fit through a standard grommet or rack rail?

Yes, the thinner 32awg wires and supple TPE jacket reduce the overall diameter, making it easier to thread through grommets, rack rails or tight desk cut-outs.
