Microconnect USBAB5G USB cable USB 2.0 5 m USB A USB B Black

The MicroConnect USBAB5G is a 5 m USB 2.0 cable with USB A (host) and USB B (device) male connectors. It is designed to connect external USB devices with Type B sockets — for example printers or scanners — to a USB host such as a computer, notebook, USB hub or wall charger. The cable supports data transfer speeds up to 0.48 Gbit/s and features gold-plated contacts in a black jacket for reliable conductivity and durable contact performance.

Advantages

The cable provides a standardized USB A to USB B connection compatible with a wide range of peripherals. Gold-plated contacts improve corrosion resistance and electrical contact quality. With a 5 m length it allows flexible placement of devices while maintaining USB 2.0 data rates. The black colour and slim profile make it unobtrusive in most office and home setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting printers to computers or USB hubs
• Connecting scanners or multifunction devices
• Linking external USB B peripherals to notebooks or wall chargers with USB host ports

How to use

Connect the USB A plug to the host device (computer, USB hub or wall charger with host functionality) and the USB B plug to the peripheral (printer, scanner or other device with a USB B socket). Ensure both devices are powered on and recognized by the host operating system; install drivers if required by the peripheral. Route the cable to avoid pinches or sharp bends and secure it to prevent accidental disconnection.

Recommendations

For optimal performance keep cable runs away from high-voltage power lines and strong electromagnetic sources. If you experience connectivity issues, check connectors for debris and verify drivers and host USB port functionality. For distances beyond 5 m consider an active USB extension or a powered hub to maintain signal integrity.
