This new Nippon Labs cable provides a USB 3.0 Type A Male to B Male connection for compatible peripherals.

Molded strain relief and grip treads simplify plugging and unplugging.

Suits users adding a USB 3.0 Type B device

Buyers needing a USB 3.0 Type A to B link for printers, enclosures or hubs will find this cable ready to use. It does not fit devices that require USB Type C, Micro-B or Mini-B connectors. Users wanting a longer or shorter reach should consider a different length.

4.8 Gbps SuperSpeed rating

The cable delivers up to 4.8 Gbps when both host and peripheral support USB 3.0, and remains backwards compatible with USB 2.0. This speed figure determines whether the link meets the throughput needs of a specific external drive, scanner or docking station.

Questions about this item

What does the 4.8 Gbps rating mean when I plug this cable into my printer?

It is the maximum theoretical throughput of the USB 3.0 link; actual transfer speed will depend on the printer's own controller and the host port.

Which USB standard does the Type B connector follow, and what does that limit?

The connector follows USB 3.0, so the link caps at 5 Gbps signalling and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports.

Will the 5 ft blue cable reach from my desk to a floor-standing scanner?

At 5 ft the cable spans a typical desk-to-floor distance; the moulded strain-relief ends add a small extra allowance for routing.
