Tripp Lite USB 2.0 A/B Cable with Ferrite Chokes 3 ft
Connects USB peripherals to a computer with gold-plated connectors, ferrite chokes for noise suppression and foil shielding for reliable 480 Mbps data transfer
- 3 ft cable connects USB devices to computers or hubs
- USB 2.0 Hi-Speed up to 480 Mbps for multimedia
- Molded ferrite chokes add shielding for noisy environments
- Gold-plated connectors and contacts for superior conductivity
- Backward compatible with USB 1.1 applications
What this cable connects
This three-foot USB 2.0 A/B cable links a USB-B peripheral such as a printer or scanner to a standard USB-A port on a computer or hub. Gold-plated connectors and copper contacts maintain reliable conductivity over repeated insertions. Molded strain relief protects the junction where the cable meets each plug.
Upgrade from older USB 1.1 leads
The cable meets USB 2.0 Hi-Speed specifications and supports data rates up to 480 Mbps, a clear step up from 1.1 speeds for multimedia workflows. It remains backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices, so existing hardware continues to work. Ferrite chokes moulded into the ends suppress electromagnetic interference in electrically noisy environments.
Plug in and go
Both ends are male, so no gender adapters are required; simply connect the Type-A plug to the host and the Type-B plug to the device. Foil shielding and the integrated ferrite cores reduce signal errors that can appear with unshielded cables. The only limitation is the fixed three-foot length, which may be short for equipment placed farther from the host.

Questions about this item
What connectors does the 3 ft USB 2.0 cable use for the computer and the device?
It has a USB Type-A male plug for the host and a USB Type-B male plug for the peripheral, both gold-plated.
How should the cable be routed during installation to avoid strain on the moulded ends?
Leave slack near each connector so the integral strain relief is not bent sharply; do not pull the cable tight around corners.
When should the cable be replaced if the ferrite chokes become loose or the shielding degrades?
Replace it if the chokes slide freely, the jacket shows cracks, or intermittent errors appear during high-speed transfers.
