Connectivity for printers and scanners

This USB A to USB B cable links a computer to a printer or scanner using the 2.0 standard. It carries data between the host and the peripheral without an extra power supply. The 3.5 mm plug on the adapter allows infrared or CEC control signals to pass through. It suits anyone needing a direct wired link for standard printing or scanning tasks.

Users needing a basic USB 2.0 link

Buyers who want a simple cable for connecting a printer or scanner to a USB-A port will find this fits. It also serves setups where an IR or CEC switchable adapter with a 3.5 mm jack is required for remote control. It is not for users who need USB 3.0 or higher transfer rates, nor for those requiring a USB-C connector on either end. It does not suit devices that demand active signal boosting over long runs.

Plug-and-play installation

Connect the USB-A end to the computer and the USB-B end to the printer or scanner, then insert the 3.5 mm plug into the adapter if remote control is used. The cable draws power from the HDMI source unit so no external adapter is needed. A common issue is selecting the wrong mode on the IR or CEC switch, which stops the remote from working. Ensure the switch matches the control protocol your equipment expects.

Questions about this item

Which port on my printer or scanner accepts the USB B end of this cable?

The USB B connector plugs into the standard square upstream port found on most printers, scanners and similar peripherals.

Will this 2.0 cable still transfer data if I connect it to an older USB 1.1 hub?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible and will operate at the lower 1.1 speed when used with legacy hubs or ports.

How can I confirm the link is active after plugging both ends in?

The host computer will enumerate the device and the peripheral’s status LED or on-screen indicator will show a ready state.
