Purpose & Audience

This USB 2.0 Type-A to Type-B cable links a desktop or laptop host to printers, scanners or hubs that use a Type-B port. It suits anyone who needs a short, reliable link for peripheral devices across all supported operating systems.

Thermals Noise & Power

The cable draws power directly from the host USB port and carries data at up to 480Mbps. No active cooling or external supply is involved, so it adds no audible noise or measurable heat to the setup.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the USB Type-A and Type-B plugs on this 1ft cable?

Plug the flat Type-A end into the host computer and the square Type-B end into the printer, scanner or hub; the keyed connectors only fit one way, so forcing them is the common mistake.

What part of this cable is most likely to need replacement over time?

The 28AWG data pair and 24AWG power conductors are shielded, but repeated sharp bends near the moulded strain reliefs can fatigue the wires, so the cable itself is the wear item.

What transfer-speed ceiling appears first when this 1ft link runs sustained bulk endpoints?

The USB 2.0 specification caps the link at 480Mbps, so sustained throughput cannot exceed that signalling rate.
