Product Identity

The StarTech USB2HAB6T is a transparent USB 2.0 cable with a Type A plug on one end and a Type B plug on the other. It spans six feet and is intended for connecting printers, scanners or external hard drives that use the legacy Type B port. The clear jacket lets users verify cable routing at a glance.

Thermals Noise Power

As a passive copper cable carrying only USB 2.0 signalling and bus power, it generates no measurable heat and produces no audible noise. Power draw is limited to what the connected peripheral negotiates with the host, so no additional supply or cooling is required.

Build And Connectors

Both ends use four-pin male connectors moulded in a transparent housing with strain relief. The Type B end fits the square upstream port found on many older desktop peripherals, while the Type A end plugs into any standard host or hub. The male-to-male layout means it cannot be used to extend an existing cable or connect two host ports directly.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 4-pin Type A and 4-pin Type B plugs on this 6 ft cable to my printer?

Insert the Type A end into the host computer and the Type B end into the printer; the transparent jacket lets you verify the keyed orientation before seating each connector fully.

Will the transparent insulation on this 6 ft USB 2.0 cable yellow or crack over time?

The clear PVC jacket resists discolouration and remains flexible; if the jacket is damaged or a connector becomes loose, replace the cable.

What limits transfer speed first when I use this 6 ft cable with a USB 2.0 hard drive?

The USB 2.0 interface governs the maximum data rate; the 6 ft length stays within specification, so the interface ceiling is reached before any cable-length loss.
