10ft USB 2.0 A to B Cable for Secure KVMs

This ten-foot cable links a USB-A host to a USB-B peripheral such as a printer, scanner or secure KVM switch. It meets TAA compliance requirements for defense, healthcare and command-center deployments. The 480Mbps USB 2.0 connection works across Windows, macOS, ChromeOS and Linux on Intel, AMD and Apple Silicon platforms.

Upgrading from shorter or non-compliant leads

A three-metre reach replaces cables that are too short for rack or console layouts. The jump is worth it when TAA documentation is mandatory or when a secure KVM demands a validated USB 2.0 link. Buyers who need USB 3.x throughput or longer runs will not be served by this specification.

Plug-and-play installation with standard connectors

Both ends are male Type-A and Type-B, so no adapters or drivers are required on supported operating systems. The most common issue is attempting to carry USB 3.x bandwidth over a 2.0 cable, which drops the link to 480Mbps. Verify the peripheral port is USB-B before routing.

Questions about this item

What length and connector genders does this cable have?

The cable is 10 feet (3m) long with a USB-A male connector on one end and a USB-B male connector on the other.

How do I connect it, and what is the common mistake to avoid?

Plug the USB-A end into the computer and the USB-B end into the printer, scanner, or secure KVM; the mistake is reversing the ends, as USB-B does not fit a USB-A port.

When might this cable need replacement?

Replace it if the connectors become loose, the jacket is damaged, or data transfer drops below the rated 480Mbps USB 2.0 speed.
