USB 2.0 cable DELOCK 81531 — 2 m, USB B to USB A, black, gold-plated contacts

DELOCK 81531 is a 2 m USB 2.0 cable with a USB B connector on one end and a USB A connector on the other, designed to connect printers, scanners and other peripherals to a computer. The black-jacketed cable supports USB 2.0 data rates up to 0.48 Gbit/s and features gold-plated contacts to improve contact reliability. The cable includes an EASY USB female connector that is reversible and twist-proof, allowing insertion without checking orientation.

Advantages

The cable offers reliable USB 2.0 transfer speeds suitable for standard peripheral connections and comes with gold-plated contacts which reduce oxidation and improve long-term contact stability. The 2 m length provides convenience and flexibility when placing devices relative to a PC. The EASY USB female connector simplifies plugging by being usable on both sides, reducing wear from repeated orientation attempts.

Suitable for

• Connecting printers and multifunction devices to desktop or laptop computers
• Connecting scanners and external optical drives
• Linking audio interfaces, MIDI controllers or other USB B-equipped peripherals
• Extending existing USB A to B connections where extra cable length is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB B (one end) to USB A (other end)
• USB version: USB 2.0, data rate up to 0.48 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 2 m
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts for improved connection reliability

How to use

Connect the USB B male plug to the peripheral device (for example a printer or scanner) and insert the USB A plug into the computer's USB port. Ensure connectors are fully seated; the gold-plated contacts help maintain a stable electrical connection. The reversible EASY USB female connector on compatible adapters or extensions can be inserted without checking orientation. Avoid sharp bends near the connectors and route the cable to prevent strain on plugs.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the cable for standard USB 2.0 peripheral connections and avoid running alongside high-power electrical cables to reduce potential interference. If longer distances or higher transfer rates are required, consider a cable or interface that supports USB 3.x or active/boosted solutions.
