ShiverPeaks BS77185 is a 5 m USB 2.0 cable with a USB A (host) connector on one end and a USB B (device) connector on the other. The cable supports USB 2.0 signalling at up to 0.48 Gbit/s and features nickel-plated contacts and a black outer jacket for standard data transmission between computers and USB B peripherals.

Advantages

The cable provides a stable wired connection for legacy and current USB B devices, with shielding and conductor design suitable for USB 2.0 data rates. Nickel-plated contacts improve resistance to corrosion and ensure reliable connectivity. The 5 m length allows flexible device placement while maintaining a direct, low-latency link without drivers or configuration.

The cable supports plug-and-play operation with devices and operating systems that support USB 2.0, requiring no additional software for basic data transfer and device recognition.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and kinks in the cable and keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference. If using long cable runs in environments with many electronic devices, route the cable away from power lines and large transformers. Inspect connectors periodically for dirt or damage and replace the cable if connectors become loose or corroded.
