What this cable connects

This USB 2.0 Type A to Type B cable links a host computer to peripherals such as printers, scanners or external drives. The 3 ft length suits desktop setups where the device sits close to the host. Gold-plated male connectors on both ends ensure reliable conductivity for everyday data tasks.

Build fit and clearance

Double shielding with tinned copper braid and aluminium Mylar foil reduces electromagnetic interference in crowded cable runs. Ferrite chokes on each end suppress high-frequency noise without requiring extra filtering hardware. Twisted 28AWG data lines and 24AWG power lines maintain signal integrity while fitting neatly behind equipment.

Speed headroom and limits

The cable meets USB 2.0 specifications and supports transfer rates from 1.5 Mbps up to 480 Mbps, covering both low-speed and high-speed devices. It handles multimedia file transfers and standard peripheral traffic comfortably. Bandwidth above 480 Mbps is not supported, so devices requiring USB 3.0 or higher speeds will operate at reduced performance.

Questions about this item

How does the 28 AWG data-pair gauge affect signal quality on a 3 ft run?

The twisted 28 AWG data pairs keep resistance low enough to meet the 480 Mbps high-speed spec over the 3 ft length without measurable loss.

Do the ferrite chokes and double shielding stop the cable from radiating noise when a printer runs all day?

Yes, the ferrite chokes plus tinned copper braid and aluminum Mylar foil suppress common-mode emissions so the link stays clean during continuous use.

Which ports must my computer and peripheral already have for this cable to plug in?

Your computer needs a USB Type-A port and the peripheral needs a USB Type-B port; both must be USB 2.0 or backward-compatible.
