USB 2.0 Type-B device cable

This six-foot white cable connects USB Type-B peripherals such as printers, scanners or hubs to a USB-A port on a laptop or desktop. It is built to the USB 2.0 specification and uses 28AWG data pairs with 24AWG power conductors for reliable signalling. The thick, flexible jacket resists repeated connect and disconnect cycles. It suits home or office users who need a straightforward replacement or extension lead.

Sustained data transfer behaviour

The 28AWG twisted pair and 24AWG power cores maintain signal integrity across the full six-foot run during long print jobs or bulk scanner transfers. Rated for 30V operation at up to 80 degrees Celsius, the cable handles continuous bus-powered loads without excessive voltage drop. Shielded construction limits interference when routed near other cables. Performance remains consistent for the duration of typical document or photo workflows.

Installation notes and common issues

Simply plug the USB-A end into the host and the USB-B end into the device; no drivers or configuration are required. The only frequent problem is attempting to use the cable with USB-C or Micro-B ports, which it does not fit. Users who need a longer reach beyond six feet should consider an active repeater rather than chaining passive cables. Ensure the connector orientation matches the port to avoid forced insertion.

Questions about this item

Does the cable get warm or draw noticeable power when I leave a printer connected all day?

It is a passive USB 2.0 cable with 28AWG data and 24AWG power conductors rated for 30 V and 80 °C, so it adds no active heat and draws only the peripheral's normal bus power.

What port must my computer already have to use this cable?

Your computer needs a standard USB Type-A host port; the cable's other end is a Type-B plug for the printer, scanner or hub.

Will this work with an older USB 1.1 printer I still use?

Yes, USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices, so the cable will carry data at the older device's speed.
