USB 2.0 A-to-B cable, 3 ft

The Tripp Lite U021-003 is a 3 ft USB 2.0 cable with a USB-A male plug on one end and a USB-B male plug on the other. It carries the USB 2.0 certification and supports data rates from 1.5 to 480 Mbps for low-speed and high-speed peripherals. Double shielding with tinned copper braid and aluminium Mylar foil protects signal integrity. Gold-plated contacts and moulded strain relief add durability for daily use.

Who should buy this and who should not

This cable suits anyone connecting a USB-B device such as a printer, scanner or external hard drive to a standard USB-A host port. It is not for users who need a USB-C or Micro-B connector, nor for anyone requiring USB 3.0 or higher bandwidth. Buyers wanting a longer reach or a different colour should look elsewhere.

The deciding specification

The 3 ft length is the single figure that determines whether this cable fits the workspace. If the distance between the host port and the device exceeds this length, the cable will not reach and a longer cable is required.
