Universal USB 2.0 A-to-B cable
This six-point-six-foot cable connects a standard USB Type-A port on a PC, Mac or hub to a USB Type-B peripheral such as a printer, scanner or modem. It is built for plug-and-play use with no drivers required on either platform.
Check your host and device ports
Verify that the host side offers a USB Type-A receptacle and the peripheral presents a USB Type-B receptacle before ordering. The cable carries only USB 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 signals, so it will not deliver USB 3.x or higher bandwidth even if the ports are blue.
Sustained transfer stability
Foil-and-braid shielding plus twisted-pair construction suppress EMI, RFI and crosstalk during long print jobs or bulk data moves. The link negotiates the highest common speed up to 480 Mbps and maintains error-free throughput for the full cable length.

Questions about this item
What comes inside the box with the C2G 13172 cable and do I need to buy anything else to use it?
The package contains the single 6.6 ft USB 2.0 A Male to B Male cable. No driver disc, adapter or power supply is included or required; it works plug-and-play with the USB ports already on your PC, Mac or hub.
The listing shows only the 6.6 ft white version — how do I decide if this length and colour are right for my setup?
Choose the 6.6 ft (2 metre) white cable when the device sits within two metres of the host and you prefer a neutral colour that blends with most office equipment; if you need a longer run or a different colour you would have to select another SKU.
The headline says 480 Mbps — what speed will I actually see when I connect my printer or scanner?
The cable supports up to 480 Mbps high-speed USB 2.0, but the real throughput is limited by the peripheral; a USB 1.1 device will run at 12 Mbps and a USB 1.0 device at 1.5 Mbps, so match the cable to the port and device capability.
