USBGear USBG-1701 left-angle cable

The USBGear USBG-1701 is a 6ft USB 2.0 cable with a left-angled Type-A plug and a straight Type-B connector. It suits users who need to connect printers, scanners or similar peripherals where rear-panel space is tight. The low-profile angled head reduces strain on the port and keeps the cable close to the device chassis. This cable is built for standard high-speed peripheral links up to 480Mbps.

UL RoHS certified 28AWG/24AWG construction

The cable uses a 28AWG/2C plus 24AWG/2C wire gauge rated for 150Volt at 80c and carries UL and RoHS certification. The left-angle Type-A connector fits flush against laptop sides or crowded hubs without blocking adjacent ports. The straight Type-B end plugs securely into common printer and scanner sockets. The black UltraFlex jacket resists kinking during routing behind desks or through cable trays.

Replaces straight Type-A cables in cramped setups

This cable upgrades installations where a straight Type-A plug would protrude into walkways or press against walls. The jump is worth it when rear clearance is under a few centimetres or when the port sits on a vertical surface. It does not serve devices that require Mini-USB, Micro-USB or USB-C connectors. Buyers needing longer runs or right-angle orientation should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What data rate does the USB 2.0 interface on this cable cap at in practice?

The USB 2.0 high-speed specification tops out at 480 Mbps, and the cable is backwards compatible with 1.1 and 1.0 devices.

What physical clearance does the left-angle Type-A connector need to fit?

The low-profile Type-A left-angle connector is designed for tight spaces where a straight plug would not seat properly.

Insert the left-angle Type-A end into the host port and the straight Type-B end into the device, ensuring the angled plug orients correctly for the available clearance.
