  • Length8 inches

Short cable for tight spaces

This 8 inch USB A to B cable links a printer, scanner or other USB 2.0 peripheral to a PC or Mac where desk room is limited. The short length keeps the run tidy and avoids coiled slack behind equipment. It is built for Hi-Speed USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps and remains backward compatible with USB 1.1 and 1.0 devices. The white jacket makes the cable easy to spot in a crowded port cluster.

Shielded construction for clean signals

Braided and foil shielding cuts EMI and RFI interference while twisted pair signal conductors reduce crosstalk. Twenty eight gauge signal wires and twenty four gauge power conductors meet the USB 2.0 electrical specification and carry the rated current without voltage drop. The assembly carries UL and RoHS certification and is rated for 75 °C and 80 °C operating temperatures at 150 V. Connectors are moulded for strain relief and repeated insertion cycles.

Replaces long stock cables that clutter racks

Use this cable to replace the metre long leads that ship with most peripherals when the device sits right next to the host. The upgrade is worth it whenever cable routing is constrained by rack rails, monitor arms or cable trays and excess length creates airflow blockage or snag risk. It is not for runs that exceed the eight inch reach or for USB 3.0 and higher bandwidth needs.

Questions about this item

What data rate does the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interface on this cable cap at in practice?

The cable is certified for USB 2.0 Hi-Speed and supports up to 480 Mbps transfer rate.

What physical space does the 8-inch cable with USB A and USB B connectors need to fit?

The cable is 8 inches long with standard USB Type-A and Type-B plugs, so it fits tight spaces between a computer port and a device socket.

How do I install this cable, and what step do people often get wrong?

Plug the Type-A end into the host and the Type-B end into the device; a common mistake is forcing the Type-B plug upside down because the connector is not reversible.
