USB 3.0 Type-A to Type-B cable

This 1.5 m black cable connects USB 3.0 Type-B peripherals such as printers, scanners, external hard drives and docking stations to a USB 3.0 Type-A host port on a PC, Mac or server. It supports the USB 3.0 standard with a 5.0 Gbps data rate. The male-to-male design uses copper conductors and shielded twisted-pair construction to reduce signal interference.

Not backward compatible with USB 2.0 Type-B

The cable will not fit or function with the older square USB 2.0 Type-B port found on many legacy devices. This means you cannot use it to connect equipment that only provides a USB 2.0 Type-B socket, even though the host side is USB 3.0. The single cable in the package replaces the need for a separate adapter when your peripheral already has the larger USB 3.0 Type-B connector.

Check your device port before ordering

Verify that the peripheral you intend to connect has a USB 3.0 Type-B port, which is physically larger than the USB 2.0 Type-B port and often has a blue insert. Confirm the host system provides a USB 3.0 Type-A port to achieve the 5.0 Gbps rate. Ensure the 1.5 m length reaches between your equipment without strain.

Questions about this item

Will the USB 3.0 Type-B connector wear out from repeated plugging into my printer?

The cable uses a male-to-male design with 18 contacts per connector; USB 3.0 Type-B ports are rated for thousands of insertion cycles, so normal daily use will not wear it out quickly.

What limits the 5 Gbps transfer rate during a long backup to an external hard drive?

Sustained throughput is capped by the USB 3.0 specification at 5 Gbps and by the drive's own write speed; the 1.5 m shielded twisted-pair construction maintains signal integrity at that rate.

Does the cable get warm or draw extra power when left connected to a docking station all day?

As a passive copper cable it draws no external power and generates negligible heat; the connectors remain at ambient temperature during continuous operation.
