15 ft USB 2.0 A-to-B cable

This 15-foot cable carries a USB 2.0 signal between a host and a peripheral. Male Type-A and male Type-B plugs give a direct link without adapters. The 24/28 AWG conductors support the standard 480 Mbit/s rate. Black PVC jacket and moulded strain relief complete the assembly.

Who this suits

Users who need to place a USB 2.0 printer, scanner or external hard drive farther from the computer than a stock lead allows. The 15 ft reach covers desk-to-floor or cross-room runs. Builders who require USB 3.x throughput, a Type-C endpoint or a shorter cable for tight cable management should look at a different product.

Capacity and headroom

The link handles USB 2.0 bulk endpoints at 480 Mbit/s, which is sufficient for typical printer, scanner and mechanical-drive workloads. Longer runs beyond 15 ft would exceed the USB 2.0 specification and risk signal loss. The cable does not carry USB 3.x SuperSpeed lanes, so high-bandwidth SSDs or video capture devices will run at reduced performance.

Questions about this item

My PC only has USB-A ports — will the USB-A male plug on this cable fit directly?

Yes, one end is a USB-A male connector that plugs straight into any standard USB-A port on your computer or hub.

I still use an older USB 2.0 printer — will the USB-B male end connect without an adapter?

The cable terminates in a USB-B male connector, the same interface used by the listed Canon Pixma, Epson XP, Brother HL and MFC, and HP Envy models.

After plugging it in, how can I confirm the link is running at USB 2.0 speed?

The cable is rated for USB 2.0 at 480 Mbit/s; your operating system will report the connection as a high-speed USB device when it is active.
