USB 2.0 A-to-B cable for printers and scanners

This 5 ft cable connects a USB Type-B device such as a printer, scanner or hub to the USB-A port on a laptop or desktop. It is built to the USB 2.0 specification and rated for up to 480 Mbps data transmission. The black jacket uses 28AWG/1P plus 24AWG/2C shielded twisted-pair wiring for durability and flexibility.

Shielded 28AWG/1P plus 24AWG/2C construction

The specified wire gauges and shielding reduce signal loss over the 5 ft run and help the cable withstand repeated connect and disconnect cycles. Rated for 30 V and 80 °C environments, the thick yet flexible jacket resists kinking when routed behind equipment. No additional drivers or software are required on any supported operating system.

Plug-and-play installation with standard USB ports

Simply insert the USB-A plug into the host computer and the USB-B plug into the peripheral; the connection is recognised immediately. The only common issue is attempting to use the cable with devices that require a different USB connector such as Micro-B, Mini-B or USB-C, which this cable does not fit. Ensure the peripheral itself is powered and supported by the host operating system.

Questions about this item

How long will the 28AWG/1P+24AWG/2C shielded twisted pair wiring last with frequent plugging and unplugging?

The cable uses thick, flexible 28AWG/1P+24AWG/2C shielded twisted pair wiring rated for 80°C and 30V, designed to handle many connect/disconnect cycles without degradation.

What limits the maximum data transfer speed during sustained use?

The cable is compliant with USB 2.0 specifications, limiting sustained data transmission to 480Mbps regardless of the connected host or device capabilities.

Does the cable generate noticeable heat when used continuously at 480Mbps?

The 28AWG/1P+24AWG/2C wiring is rated for 80°C operating environments, so continuous operation at USB 2.0 speeds stays well within thermal limits without excess heat.
