Left-Angle USB B Connector

The StarTech USBAB2ML is a 2-metre USB 2.0 cable with a standard Type-A plug on one end and a left-angled Type-B plug on the other. It connects printers, scanners or external drive enclosures to a host computer. The angled head reduces strain in tight rear-panel spaces where a straight connector would press against a wall or desk.

USB 2.0 Bandwidth Ceiling

The cable supports the USB 2.0 specification with a maximum signalling rate of 480 Mbps. Real-world throughput will be lower due to protocol overhead and host-controller limits. It cannot deliver the higher speeds of later USB revisions, so large batch transfers take noticeably longer than on a faster link.

Shielding And Length Headroom

Aluminium-Mylar foil plus a braided shield protects the 2-metre run from electromagnetic interference in typical office or workshop environments. At this length the signal remains within USB 2.0 electrical limits for reliable enumeration. Runs significantly beyond 2 metres would require an active repeater to maintain the same error-free performance.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the left-angle B connector or a straight B connector for my device?

The left-angle B connector routes the cable sideways from the port, which helps when the device sits close to a wall or in a tight rack space. A straight B connector points directly out and needs more rear clearance.

What does the 480 Mbps rating mean when I plug this cable into my computer?

The cable supports USB 2.0 speeds up to 480 Mbps, so large file transfers and peripheral data will move at the full USB 2.0 rate rather than falling back to the slower 1.1 specification.

Does the USB 2.0 interface limit charging current or only data speed?

The USB 2.0 interface caps data at 480 Mbps; charging current depends on the host port and device negotiation, not on the cable’s data specification.
