Long Reach for Peripherals

This 26.25 ft USB 2.0 cable connects Type-A hosts to Type-B devices such as printers, scanners and external drives. The extended length suits setups where the computer sits far from the peripheral. Gold-plated connectors and shielding protect signal quality over the full distance. It is built for standard USB 2.0 equipment that uses a Type-B port.

Bandwidth and Distance Limits

USB 2.0 tops out at 480 Mbps, so large file transfers take longer than on newer interfaces. The 8.0 m run reaches the maximum length the specification allows without a repeater. Beyond this distance the signal degrades and a powered hub or active cable becomes necessary. Devices that need higher throughput will not benefit from the extra reach.

Capacity and Headroom

The 28/24 AWG conductors handle the 480 Mbps data rate and standard USB power for typical peripherals. Printers, scanners, cameras and mice operate reliably at this length. Bus-powered hard drives may work if their current draw stays within the port limit. High-speed SSDs or multi-drive enclosures exceed the available bandwidth and power headroom.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 26 ft or 8 m length option for my printer setup?

They are the same cable; 26.25 ft equals 8.0 m, so pick whichever unit you prefer.

What does the 480 Mbps rating mean when I connect an external hard drive?

It is the maximum USB 2.0 High Speed throughput; real-world transfers will be lower due to protocol overhead and drive limits.

Does the USB 2.0 Type-A to Type-B interface cap the speed of a modern SSD enclosure?

Yes, the link is limited to 480 Mbps, so a faster SSD will not reach its native performance over this cable.
