NEON Drive USB 3.0 Cable 200cm

This NEON Drive cable provides a 200cm link between a USB 3.0 Type A port and a USB 3.0 Type B port. It is built for connecting printers and similar large peripherals to a desktop or laptop computer. The Type A plug works with USB 2.0 hosts as well, though the Type B end requires a USB 3.0 device port.

Suits USB 3.0 printers and scanners

Buyers needing a long reach for a USB 3.0 printer, scanner or external drive enclosure will find the length useful. It is not for devices that only offer a USB 2.0 Type B socket, because the larger Type B plug will not fit. Users wanting a shorter cable or a different connector style should look at other options.

Handles USB 3.0 data rates over two metres

The 200cm run supports full USB 3.0 throughput for bulk transfers to compatible hardware. Performance drops to USB 2.0 speeds when the host port is only USB 2.0. The cable cannot bridge to USB 2.0 Type B equipment, so that device class remains unsupported.

Questions about this item

What USB port must my computer have for the Type A end to work at 3.0 speeds?

A USB 3.0 Type A port is required for full 3.0 performance; the plug also fits USB 2.0 Type A ports but will run at 2.0 speeds

Can I plug the Type B end into the USB 2.0 Type B socket on my older printer?

No, the USB 3.0 Type B connector is physically different and will not mate with a USB 2.0 Type B port

How do I verify the cable is operating at USB 3.0 after connecting it?

Check the OS device manager or system profiler — it should list the attached device at 3.0 (SuperSpeed) rather than 2.0 (Hi-Speed)
