InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 Cable Type A male / Type B female, black, 2m

The InLine USB 3.2 Gen.1 Cable Type A male / Type B female InLine 35620 2m is a 2-metre data cable designed to connect USB Type A hosts to devices with a USB Type B receptacle. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 transfer rates up to 5 Gbps, uses gold-plated contacts to improve conductivity and corrosion resistance, and comes in a black jacket that integrates with common office and home setups. The cable is intended for reliable data transfer between computers or hubs and peripherals such as printers, scanners and external drives that accept a Type B connection.

Advantages

The USB 3.2 Gen.1 specification provides high-speed data throughput up to 5 Gbps for faster file transfers and reduced waiting times compared with USB 2.0. Gold-plated contacts help ensure stable signal transmission and longer contact life. The 2 m length offers more positioning flexibility without excessive slack, and the standard Type A to Type B pairing ensures wide compatibility with legacy and current USB peripherals. The black outer jacket provides basic abrasion resistance and a neutral appearance for mixed equipment environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop or laptop computers to printers and multifunction devices
• Linking scanners and imaging devices to a host computer
• Connecting external drives and enclosures that use a USB Type B interface
• Replacing or extending existing USB Type A to Type B connections in offices or home workspaces

Key specifications

• Standard: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1)
• Maximum theoretical data rate: 5 Gbps
• Connector A: USB Type A, male
• Connector B: USB Type B, female (inline receptacle)
• Cable length: 2 m
• Contact finish: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: black

How to use

Insert the USB Type A male connector into a compatible host port such as a computer, laptop or USB hub. Plug the USB Type B female end into the device requiring a Type B connection, ensuring the connector is aligned and seated without forcing. After connection, the host operating system should detect the peripheral; install any required drivers or software if prompted. For safe removal, use the operating system’s eject or safe removal procedure before unplugging the cable when data transfer is in progress.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid routing the cable near strong electromagnetic sources or running it parallel to power cables for long distances. Use the 2 m length to position devices within reach while avoiding sharp bends or kinks; store the cable coiled loosely when not in use. Confirm device compatibility with USB 3.2 Gen 1 or USB 2.0 host ports as required by your peripheral.
