StarTech 0.5 m USB 2.0 A to B Cable

This half-metre cable connects a USB Type-A host to a USB Type-B device. It is suited to users who need a short, tidy link between a computer and a printer, scanner or external drive enclosure. The black jacket matches typical office equipment.

Fits tight spaces without excess slack

The 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter on crowded desks or inside compact enclosures. It requires a free USB Type-A port on the host and a Type-B receptacle on the peripheral. No additional drivers or power adapters are needed for standard USB 2.0 operation.

Single cable in the package

The box contains one black cable with moulded strain relief on both ends. There are no software discs, adapters or cable ties included. Buyers who need multiple cables or longer reaches must order additional units separately.

Questions about this item

How far can I place the device from the host with this 0.5m cable?

The cable is 0.5m long, so the connected device must sit within half a metre of the USB Type-A port on the host.

Will the connectors or cable get warm during continuous data transfer?

The cable is passive copper with standard USB 2.0 signalling; it does not generate noticeable heat during normal all-day use.

What ports must my computer and peripheral already provide for this cable to work?

Your computer needs a USB Type-A port and the peripheral needs a USB Type-B port; both are male on this cable.
