USB 2.0 A-to-B cable for printers and scanners

This 6.00 ft Monoprice 5438 cable connects a USB Type-A host to a USB Type-B peripheral. It is built for devices such as printers and scanners that still use the original USB B connector. Gold-plated contacts and a ferrite core help maintain a clean signal.

Check the port on your device before ordering

Verify that the peripheral you want to connect has a standard USB Type-B receptacle, not a mini-B or micro-B port. The host side requires a free USB Type-A socket. The cable is 100 percent compliant with USB 2.0 specifications and uses 28AWG conductors for data and 24AWG conductors for power.

Replaces a worn or missing standard USB printer

If your existing USB 2.0 A-to-B lead is damaged, too short, or lost, this shielded replacement restores the link without signal interference. The heavy-gauge construction and lifetime warranty make the upgrade worthwhile when reliability matters more than the thinnest possible wire.
