How to use

Connect the USB A male end to the host device (computer or hub) and the USB B male end to the peripheral (printer, scanner or compatible device). Ensure both devices are powered on and that drivers or firmware required by the peripheral are installed on the host. For best performance, use USB 3.x ports on the host; if a USB 2.0 port is used the connection will operate at the lower USB 2.0 speed.

Recommendations

Use shielded routing and avoid sharp bends or tight kinks in the 5 m cable to preserve signal integrity. When maximum throughput is required, connect both ends to USB 3.x compliant ports and avoid long daisy-chaining through passive hubs.
