What this cable connects

This USB 2.0 cable links a Type-A host port to a Type-B device port so printers, scanners and similar large peripherals can communicate with a computer. It is built for users who still rely on the original USB B connector rather than newer mini or micro variants.

The gauge that carries the signal

Data lines use 28AWG conductors while power lines use 24AWG conductors, a combination that meets the USB 2.0 specification for reliable throughput. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and the shielding blocks interference that could cause data loss.

Plug in and it works

Both ends are male so installation is a simple matter of inserting each connector into its matching port; no drivers or tools are required. The only common issue is attempting to use the cable with mini-B or micro-B devices, which have a different physical socket.

Questions about this item

What does USB 2.0 mean for real-world transfer speeds with this cable?

USB 2.0 sets the maximum signalling rate, so actual throughput will be limited to that standard regardless of the cable length.

What interface does this cable use and what does it limit?

It uses USB 2.0 Type-A to Type-B connectors, limiting the connection to USB 2.0 signalling rates.

What physical space or port clearance does this 3.00 ft cable need?

The cable is 3.00 ft long with standard USB Type-A and Type-B male plugs, so it needs enough reach between ports and clearance for the connector bodies.
