USB A‑to‑B cable MicroConnect ColorFlex USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) 1 m, LSZH

The MicroConnect ColorFlex USB A-to-B cable USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) 1 m with an LSZH jacket provides a standard connection between host devices and peripherals. It supports high-speed data transfer while remaining backwards compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices. The 1 metre length is suitable for desktop and rack environments where a short, neat connection is required. The colored, flexible jacket makes cable identification and routing easier in multi-cable installations, and the LSZH material reduces toxic smoke and halogen emissions in the event of fire, improving safety in confined or public spaces.

Advantages

The cable delivers reliable data throughput at USB 3.2 Gen 1 rates while maintaining compatibility with older USB standards. Its flexible ColorFlex jacket simplifies visual identification and cable management. The LSZH outer sheath limits smoke and corrosive gases in case of combustion, which is beneficial for installations in offices, server rooms, and public buildings. Connectors are designed for secure mating with A and B ports commonly found on computers, printers, scanners and external drives.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop or laptop computers to printers and scanners
• Linking external hard drives or optical drives to a host system
• Use in offices, classrooms and shared workspaces where cable identification is useful
• Installation in areas where low smoke and zero halogen properties are preferred for safety

Key specifications

• Interface: USB A (host) to USB B (device)
• Standard: USB 3.2 Gen 1 (backwards compatible with USB 3.0 / USB 2.0)
• Length: 1 metre
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Cable type: Flexible, ColorFlex jacket for easy identification
• Data transfer: High-speed USB 3.2 Gen 1 throughput

How to use

Plug the USB A connector into an available USB port on your computer or host device and insert the USB B connector into the peripheral device's corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully seated to establish a secure connection. Because the cable is backwards compatible, it will work with older USB ports at their respective speeds without additional configuration. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress to maintain signal integrity and cable life.

Recommendations

For best results, use the cable within its 1 m length for short-distance connections and avoid coiling tightly. Select the ColorFlex jacket colour that best fits your installation plan to simplify maintenance and identification. In environments that require reduced toxic emissions, choose the LSZH variant to comply with safety preferences. Regularly inspect connectors for debris and replace the cable if the sheath or contacts show visible damage.
