Cable Matters USB 2.0 A to B cable

This 6 ft black cable connects a USB Type-A host to printers, scanners, MIDI controllers, audio interfaces and other USB-B 2.0 peripherals. It supports data transfer at up to 480 Mbps and is backward compatible with USB 1.0 and 1.1 devices.

Build integration with USB A to B cable

The male-to-male connectors plug directly into a computer and a USB-B device without adapters or external power. Gold-plated contacts, bare copper conductors and foil-and-braid shielding provide interference-free signals, freeing the user from wireless dropouts or damaged legacy cords.

Sustained load behaviour of USB 2.0 cable

Shielded construction maintains reliable throughput during long print jobs, scanning sessions or continuous MIDI and audio streaming. The durable jacket and reinforced connectors resist wear from repeated insertion, keeping performance consistent over extended use.

Questions about this item

Will the 480 Mbps USB 2.0 bandwidth bottleneck large print jobs or scanner batches?

The cable supports USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps, the standard rate for USB-B 2.0 printers and scanners; it matches the port speed so the link itself will not be the limiting factor.

Does the foil-and-braid shielding prevent the cable from heating up or picking up noise during all-day printing?

Gold-plated connectors, bare copper conductors and foil & braid shielding are designed for interference-free signals; the passive cable draws no power and generates no measurable heat in normal use.

My printer has a square USB-B port — will this cable fit without an adapter?

Yes, the cable has a USB Type-A male plug for the computer and a USB Type-B male plug for the printer, matching the standard square port on most printers, scanners and MIDI devices.
