UGREEN USB 2.0 Printer Cable A-Male to B-Male 5 FT

SKU CH-HDMG-EFCKJ

Connects USB-B peripherals to USB-A hosts at up to 480 Mbps with gold-plated, shielded connectors for stable data transfer

  • USB 2.0 speeds up to 480 Mbps for fast data transfer
  • Gold-plated connectors resist corrosion for lasting signal quality
  • Foil and braid shielding prevents noise and signal loss
  • Works with HP, Canon, Epson, Brother and many more devices
  • Plug and play with no driver installation required

Cable purpose and length

This 5 ft USB 2.0 cable connects printers, scanners, external drives, cameras, digital pianos and DACs to a Mac or PC using a Type-A plug on the host side and a Type-B plug on the device side. It supports the standard 480 Mbps transfer rate and falls back to USB 1.1 at 12 Mbps or USB 1.0 at 1.5 Mbps. No driver installation is required.

Who it suits and who it does not

Buyers replacing a lost or damaged cable for a compatible HP, Canon, Epson, Brother, Lexmark, Dell, Samsung, Oki, Yamaha or Schiit device will find a direct fit. Users whose equipment demands USB 3.0 or higher bandwidth, or who need a USB-C or Micro-B connector, should look at a different cable.

Capacity and headroom

The link handles document printing, scanning and MIDI data without bottleneck. Large multi-gigabyte file transfers to external hard drives will be slower than on a USB 3.0 connection, so users moving heavy datasets regularly will hit the 480 Mbps ceiling.

Questions about this item

What type of USB port must my computer have to use this A-Male to B-Male cable?

Your computer needs a standard USB Type-A port, which is the rectangular connector found on most laptops and desktops, to plug in the A-Male end of this cable.

Will this USB 2.0 cable work if my printer only supports the older USB 1.1 standard?

Yes, the cable is backward compliant with full-speed USB 1.1 at 12 Mbps and low-speed USB 1.0 at 1.5 Mbps, so it will function correctly with older USB printers.

How can I confirm the cable is delivering the full 480 Mbps transfer rate after connecting it?

Check the connection speed reported in your operating system's device manager or system information; it should list the device as operating at High-Speed 480 Mbps for USB 2.0.
