Nippon Labs USB 3.0 A-to-B cable

The Nippon Labs USB3-3AB is a 3 ft USB 3.0 Type A male to Type B male cable in black. It connects a host computer such as a PC or Mac to peripherals that use a USB Type B port, including printers, scanners, hard drives, servers and HDD docking stations. The cable supports SuperSpeed data transfer up to 5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s) and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports. It is designed for users who need a direct, plug-and-play link to USB Type B devices.

Installation and common issues

The cable is plug-and-play and requires no driver installation or device restart. Simply connect the Type A end to the host and the Type B end to the peripheral. The connectors feature nickel plating for corrosion resistance and grip treads for secure mating. Inside, copper conductors are shielded by PVC, aluminum foil and braid to minimise interference. A moulded strain relief protects the junction. The only common issue is attempting to use this cable with devices that do not have a USB Type B port.

Deciding specification

The single specification that decides fit is the connector combination: USB Type A male on one end and USB Type B male on the other. This cable will only work if the host has a Type A port and the peripheral has a Type B port. It cannot connect two Type A ports, two Type B ports, or any USB Type C, Micro-B or Mini-B interface. Buyers who need a different connector pairing must choose another cable.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the cable is delivering the 5 Gbit/s link after plugging it in?

Check the host computer's device manager or system profiler; the connected peripheral should enumerate at USB 3.0 / SuperSpeed rather than USB 2.0 or 1.1.

What comes in the box and is anything else required?

The package contains the 3 ft USB 3.0 Type A male to Type B male cable only; no separate driver or power adapter is needed for standard plug-and-play operation.

Which length should I choose for a printer or scanner on my desk?

The 3 ft length suits typical desktop distances; select a longer option only if the device sits farther from the host port.
