Hard-to-reach USB 2.0 peripherals

This left-angled USB 2.0 cable connects devices with a standard USB-B port in tight spaces where a straight connector would not fit. The 480 Mbps data rate matches the USB 2.0 specification for reliable transfers. It is suited for printers, scanners or external enclosures positioned close to walls or furniture.

Left-angled USB-B connector

The decisive feature is the left-angled USB-B male connector, which routes the cable sideways to clear low-clearance ports. A standard USB-A male connector sits at the other end for host connection. Without this specific angle the cable would protrude and risk damage or disconnection in cramped installations.

Shielded construction for stable operation

Aluminium-Mylar foil with braided shielding protects the signal from electromagnetic interference during normal use. The cable draws power from the host port within USB 2.0 limits and produces no audible noise. No external power supply or active cooling is required for typical peripheral workloads.

Questions about this item

What does the 480 Mbps figure mean when the cable is connected to a USB 2.0 device?

The 480 Mbps rating is the maximum data transfer speed defined by the USB 2.0 standard. Actual throughput will be lower due to protocol overhead and the performance of the connected peripheral.

Which USB standard does the left-angled connector follow, and what speed limit does it impose?

Both connectors follow the USB 2.0 specification, so the link is capped at 480 Mbps regardless of the host or peripheral capabilities.

How does the left-angled USB-B connector change the space needed behind the peripheral?

The left-angled USB-B plug directs the cable sideways instead of straight out, reducing the rear clearance required when the device sits against a wall or in a tight cabinet.
