USB 2.0 A Male to B Male cable

This 2 metre cable connects a USB Type B peripheral such as a printer, scanner or external drive to a USB Type A port on a computer or hub. It supports the USB 2.0 standard at up to 480 Mbps and works with the listed Brother, Canon, Dell, Epson and HP devices. The foil and braid shielding reduces EMI and RFI interference for a cleaner signal. It is a straightforward replacement for a worn or missing original cable.

Upgrading from USB 1.1 or 1.0

The cable is backwards compliant with USB 1.1 at 12 Mbps and USB 1.0 at 1.5 Mbps, so it will function with older ports and peripherals. The jump is worth it when the connected device supports USB 2.0 high speed, because the higher bandwidth cuts transfer time for print jobs and file moves. If every device in the chain is limited to USB 1.1 or 1.0, the extra headroom goes unused. It does not add speed to a USB 1.0 only scanner or keyboard.

Capacity and headroom

At 480 Mbps the link comfortably handles document printing, scanner output and typical peripheral traffic. Bulk transfers from high capacity external hard drives will run into the USB 2.0 ceiling, so sustained throughput tops out well below modern solid state drive speeds. The 2 metre length provides desk reach without signal degradation thanks to the twisted pair construction. It is not suited for applications that demand USB 3.0 or higher bandwidth.

Questions about this item

What length is the 28102 cable and will it reach my desk printer?

The cable is 2 metres (6.6 feet) long, giving enough slack for a typical desk-to-printer run.

How do I plug this cable in and which end goes where?

Insert the flat USB Type A Male end into the computer or hub and the square USB Type B Male end into the printer; it works immediately with no drivers.

Does the shielding on this cable degrade over time?

The foil-and-braid shield and twisted-pair construction are passive and do not wear out, so the cable needs no maintenance.
