USB 2.0 A-to-B printer cable for desktop peripherals
This six-foot cable connects USB Type-B devices such as printers, scanners, external hard drives and servers to a standard USB Type-A port on a laptop or desktop. It supports the full USB 2.0 data rate of up to 480 Mbps and remains backward compatible with USB 1.1 at 12 Mbps and USB 1.0 at 1.5 Mbps. The white jacket and male-to-male connectors suit typical office and home setups.
Shielded construction for stable data transfer
A foil-and-braid shield surrounds the conductors to reduce electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, preserving signal clarity over the full cable length. This shielding helps maintain error-free transfers during normal printing, scanning or bulk file moves without requiring active cooling or power management. The passive design draws no additional power beyond the host port.
Replaces shorter or unshielded USB 2.0 cables
The six-foot reach suits setups where the peripheral sits farther from the host than a standard three-foot lead allows, and the multi-shielded build upgrades from basic cables that can suffer drop-outs near other equipment. It is not suited for USB 3.0 or higher-speed devices that demand greater bandwidth, nor for connections requiring USB-C or Micro-B connectors.

Questions about this item
How do I install the USB 2.0 A Male to B Male cable and which connector goes where?
Insert the rectangular USB Type A male plug into the host port on your laptop or computer, then connect the square USB Type B male plug into the device port on the printer, scanner, or hard drive; the step people get wrong is reversing the ends.
What maintenance or replacement will the multi-shielded USB 2.0 cable need later?
The foil and braid shielding is built for long-term performance, so no routine maintenance is required; replace the cable only if the connectors become loose or the jacket shows visible wear.
What limit appears first during sustained use at 480 Mbps?
The USB 2.0 specification caps throughput at 480 Mbps, so the interface bandwidth is the first limit you reach under continuous high-speed transfer.
