USB 2.0 A-Male to B-Male Cable, 10 ft
This 10-foot USB 2.0 cable connects a Type-A host to a Type-B device with gold-plated male connectors on both ends. It supports the full USB 2.0 specification at 480 Mbps and uses multi-layer shielding to reduce interference. The 10 ft length suits setups where the peripheral sits away from the computer.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
It suits users linking printers, external hard drives or cameras to a desktop or laptop that still uses USB 2.0 Type-B ports. Buyers needing USB 3.0 or USB-C speeds, or those connecting two Type-A ports, will not be served by this cable.
Deciding specification: 480 Mbps USB 2.0 transfer
The 480 Mbps ceiling is the single figure that determines fit. If your workflow moves large media libraries and demands higher throughput, this cable will bottleneck the transfer. For standard printing, scanning or occasional backups the rate is adequate.

Questions about this item
Does this cable need a USB-A port on my computer to connect a printer with a USB-B port?
Yes, the cable has a USB-A male connector for the computer and a USB-B male connector for the printer or external hard drive.
Will the 480 Mbps transfer speed work with my older USB 1.1 devices?
The cable supports full USB 2.0 capability at 480 Mbps and is backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices at their lower speeds.
How can I verify the gold-plated connectors are making a solid connection after plugging it in?
A firm click when inserting each end and stable device recognition without intermittent disconnects indicate the corrosion-resistant connectors are seated correctly.
