Monoprice Inc. 105445 USB 2.0 cable 15 ft Type-A Male to Male Black

USB 2.0 Type-A male-to-male cable for peripheral

This 15 ft black cable links two USB Type-A ports for data transfer between a host computer and devices such as printer enclosures, external hard-drive cases, modems or cameras. It is built to the USB 2.0 specification and rated for 480 Mbps Hi-Speed signalling. The conductors use a 28/24 AWG gauge and the connectors are gold plated for corrosion resistance. The product is supplied new with a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer.

Check port types and cable routing before purchase

Verify that both the host and the peripheral present a standard USB Type-A receptacle; this cable will not fit Type-B, Mini, Micro or Type-C ports without an adapter. Confirm that a 15 ft run is practical for your desk or rack layout and that the cable will not be pinched by furniture or rack rails. The cable is rated for USB 2.0 speeds only; if the peripheral requires USB 3.x or higher bandwidth, a different cable is needed. Ensure the operating system recognises the device class at 480 Mbps.

Sustained throughput at the rated 480 Mbps limit

Under continuous load the link operates at the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed ceiling of 480 Mbps; real-world bulk-endpoint throughput will be lower due to protocol overhead and host-controller scheduling. The 28/24 AWG conductors and gold-plated contacts are designed to maintain signal integrity over the full 15 ft length during extended transfers. No active signal conditioning is present, so cable routing should avoid tight bends and strong electromagnetic fields to prevent errors during long sessions.
