Connecting printers and scanners

This adapter converts a USB Type-B port on a printer, scanner or fax machine into a standard USB Type-A female socket. It lets you use a regular USB A cable to link the device to a computer. The product is aimed at users who need a simple bridge between legacy Type-B peripherals and modern Type-A cables.

Passive operation with USB 2.0 speeds

The adapter draws no external power and adds no active electronics, so it runs silently and produces no heat. It supports USB 2.0 transfer rates up to 480 megabytes per second, which is sufficient for printing and scanning tasks. The PVC jacket and nickel-plated plugs resist oxidation and corrosion during normal use.

Fits tight spaces and frees cable choice

At 50 centimetres or 1.6 feet long, the short tail reduces clutter behind desktop equipment and suits cramped workstations. The male Type-B end plugs directly into the peripheral, while the female Type-A side accepts any standard USB A cable you already own. Note that the supplier states this adapter is not compatible with Epson printers or MIDI electronic musical instruments.
