USB 2.0 A to B Cable Tripp Lite U022-006-BE 6 ft Beige

The Tripp Lite U022-006-BE is a 6 ft (1.8 m) USB 2.0 A to B cable designed to connect printers, scanners and other USB Type-B peripherals to a computer. The cable supports USB 2.0 high-speed data transfer up to 480 Mbps and is backward compatible with earlier USB generations. It features gold-plated contacts and a beige PVC jacket for reliable connectivity and easy installation in confined spaces.

Advantages

Premium foil and braid shielding provide protection against EMI/RFI noise for stable signal transmission. Molded nickel-plated connectors and gold-plated contacts ensure good conductivity and contact durability. Integral strain relief and twisted 28/24 AWG data/power conductors improve longevity and maintain signal integrity during regular use.

Suitable for

• Connecting printers to desktop or laptop computers
• Connecting scanners and multifunction devices
• Linking other USB Type-B peripherals (e.g., external hubs, audio interfaces) to a host

How to use

Insert the USB A (flat) connector into the host computer’s USB port and plug the USB B (square) connector into the peripheral device’s USB Type-B port. Ensure both ends are fully seated to establish a secure connection. The cable supports plug-and-play operation with compatible devices; no additional drivers are typically required for standard printers and scanners.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid routing the cable near strong sources of electromagnetic interference, maintain gentle bends to protect the integrity of the internal conductors, and use the 6 ft length for typical desktop setups; for longer runs consider a certified USB extender or an active cable.
