Cable purpose and audience

This three-foot USB 2.0 A-to-B cable links a Type-B peripheral such as a printer, scanner or external drive to a standard Type-A host port. It suits home-office users and IT technicians who need a short, certified connection for legacy USB 1.1 or 2.0 devices.

Decisive specification

The cable is rated to the USB 2.0 standard and remains backward compatible with USB 1.1 equipment, so it will not support the higher throughput of later USB revisions. Buyers who need USB 3.x or USB4 speeds must choose a different cable.

Build integration

Male-to-male connectors on both ends allow a direct link without gender changers, while the copper conductors and RoHS compliance ensure reliable signalling and environmental conformity. The 3 ft length keeps desk clutter low but offers no slack for distant peripherals.

Questions about this item

What does the USB 2.0 label mean for transfer speed when I plug this cable into my PC?

The cable is certified to the USB 2.0 standard, so the host controller will negotiate up to the 2.0 signalling rate for any connected peripheral.

Which USB interface does the Type B connector use, and what does that cap in practice?

The Type B end is a USB 2.0 connector, so the link runs at the 2.0 rate even if the device also supports USB 1.1.

What physical space do I need to fit the Type B plug on my printer?

The cable ends in a standard USB 2.0 Type B male plug, which matches the square port found on most desktop printers and scanners.
