What this cable connects

The Transway's Marketplace CU0122 is a 1.8 m USB 3.0 A Male to B Male cable designed for printers, scanners and compatible hubs. It uses oxygen-free copper conductors and an all-metal braid shield to minimise interference. The blue PVC jacket protects the internal wiring during everyday use.

Moving up from USB 2.0 links

This cable replaces a USB 2.0 connection when the host and peripheral both support USB 3.0. The upgrade is worthwhile when transferring large scan files or print jobs that benefit from the higher throughput. If either device is limited to USB 2.0, the link will operate at the lower speed.

Limits of the USB 3.0 interface

The USB 3.0 standard defines maximum cable lengths for reliable operation without active repeaters. At 1.8 m this cable stays within the passive range for full-speed signalling. Longer passive runs may require signal boosting or a different topology to maintain performance.

Questions about this item

How much space does the 1.8 m cable need between my computer and the printer?

The cable is 1.8 m long, so it requires at least that much clear distance between the USB 3.0 Type-A port on the computer and the USB 3.0 Type-B port on the printer.

Which way round do the blue Type-A and Type-B plugs go, and what is the common mistake?

The Type-A plug goes into the computer and the Type-B plug goes into the printer; the mistake is forcing the Type-B end into the computer’s rectangular port.

Will the copper conductors or braided shield degrade and need replacement?

The oxygen-free copper conductors and all-metal braided shield are built for the life of the cable; no scheduled maintenance or replacement is required.
