Connect peripherals with a USB 2.0 A-to-B cable

The Nippon Labs USB-15-AB links devices that use a standard USB Type-B port — such as printers, scanners, or external enclosures — to the USB Type-A ports on a PC or Mac. It carries data at up to 480 Mbps and is backward compatible with earlier USB revisions. The beige jacket, gold-plated connectors, and foil-plus-braid shielding are built for durable, interference-free transfers.

Suited for standard peripheral links.

This cable fits setups where the peripheral presents a USB-B socket and the host provides a USB-A socket. It will not serve devices that require USB-C, Micro-B, or Mini-B connectors, nor will it meet the bandwidth needs of USB 3.0 or higher interfaces. Buyers who need more throughput or different connector shapes should look at other cable types.

Plug-and-play installation with molded strain relief

Simply insert the Type-A plug into the computer and the Type-B plug into the peripheral; no drivers or configuration are required. The molded strain relief and ultra-flexible jacket reduce stress at the connector ends during routing. The only common issue is attempting to force the rectangular Type-A plug in upside-down — orient the metal contacts correctly and it seats smoothly.

Questions about this item

What type of USB port must the computer have to use the USB-15-AB cable?

The computer needs a standard USB Type-A port, which is the rectangular connector found on most PCs and Macs.

Will the USB-15-AB cable work with a USB 1.1 device I still use?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with older USB versions, so it will function with USB 1.1 peripherals at their native speed.

How can I confirm the USB-15-AB is delivering the expected 480 Mbps transfer rate after connecting it?

Transfer a large file between the computer and the peripheral; a sustained speed near 480 Mbps indicates the high-speed link is active.
