InLine USB 2.0 Cable Type A male / B male, gold plated, w/ferrite, white, 5m

The InLine USB 2.0 Cable Type A male / B male 5 m provides wired USB connectivity for devices with USB A and USB B ports. It supports USB 2.0 data transfer rates up to 480 Mbit/s and is backwards compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 1.0. The cable is white, features gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and durability, and includes ferrite cores to reduce electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

The gold-plated contacts offer reliable signal transmission and resist corrosion. Ferrite cores suppress high-frequency interference for more stable data transfer. The 5 m length gives extended reach between devices while maintaining USB 2.0 performance. Compatibility with USB 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 ensures broad device support.

Suitable for

• Connecting printers, scanners or external drives with USB B ports to computers with USB A ports
• Data transfer between USB 2.0 devices
• Setups requiring a longer cable run (up to 5 m)

How to use

Insert the Type A male connector into the host device (computer or hub) and the Type B male connector into the peripheral device (printer, scanner, external drive). Ensure both devices are powered on and any required drivers are installed. For optimal performance, use USB 2.0 ports on both devices when available.

Recommendations

For stable transfers, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic noise. If you require higher transfer speeds, consider USB 3.x alternatives; otherwise, this USB 2.0 cable is suitable for standard peripheral connections up to 5 m.
