How to use

Insert the Type A male connector into a USB-A host port on a computer or hub, and connect the Type B female end to the peripheral device's USB-B port. Ensure connectors are aligned and insert gently until fully seated. Once connected, the host system should detect the peripheral; install any necessary drivers if prompted by the operating system. Disconnect by grasping the connector housing and pulling straight out to avoid cable strain.

Recommendations

Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and do not pull on the cable to disconnect. For stable data transfer, use direct connections or a powered hub if multiple devices are connected. Store the cable coiled loosely to prevent damage.
