USB 3.0 Type B Cable for Peripherals

This VANAUX cable connects devices fitted with a USB 3.0 Type B port — such as docking stations, external hard drives and scanners — to a host USB Type A port. It is intended for users who need a reliable link for data transfer without installing drivers. The one-metre length suits typical desktop setups where the peripheral sits close to the computer. It does not fit USB 2.0 Type B ports, so buyers with older printers or hubs must choose a different cable.

5 Gb/s Transfer with Double Shielding

The cable supports a signal rate of 5000000000 bits per second, which is ten times the throughput of USB 2.0. Silver-plated copper conductors and a cotton braid jacket provide double shielding against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference. The braided construction has survived more than 10000 bend cycles, reducing the risk of kinks during repeated winding. Performance will drop to USB 2.0 speeds if either connected port is limited to that standard.

Replaces Standard USB 3.0 Printer Cables

This braided cable upgrades from basic moulded USB 3.0 Type B leads that tangle easily and lack shielding. The gold-plated connectors resist corrosion, extending service life in environments where cables are plugged and unplugged frequently. The improvement is worthwhile when the existing cable shows wear, suffers interference-related drop-outs or is too short for a rearranged workstation. It cannot add USB 3.0 capability to a USB 2.0 device.

Questions about this item

Will this 1 m braided cable connect my older USB 2.0 Type-B scanner?

No, the cable is only compatible with devices that have a USB 3.0 Type-B port and will not fit USB 2.0 Type-B equipment.

How can I confirm the link is running at 5 Gb/s after plugging it in?

Check the operating system device manager or system report; the connection should list as USB 3.0 or SuperSpeed, indicating the 5 Gb/s rate.

Does the package include any adapters or driver discs?

The box contains only the USB 3.0 Type-B male to USB-A male braided cable; no adapters, software or driver media are supplied.
