USB A to B cable Sharkoon 1.0 m with aluminum braided shield, USB data cable

Sharkoon USB A to B cable, 1.0 m, is a data connection cable engineered for reliable communication between host devices with USB-A ports and peripherals fitted with USB-B ports such as printers, scanners and audio interfaces. The cable features an aluminum braided shield that enhances protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and increases mechanical durability for frequent office or home use. Its 1.0 m length strikes a balance between reach and tidy cable management while supporting standard USB data transfer requirements.

Advantages

The aluminum braided shield reduces susceptibility to external interference, helping to maintain stable data transfer rates and signal integrity. The robust exterior resists wear from repeated plugging and routing, while the standardized USB-A and USB-B connectors ensure broad device compatibility without the need for adapters. The cable’s 1.0 m length offers convenient placement of devices close to the host while keeping workspace clutter minimal.

Suitable for

• Connecting printers to desktop or laptop computers
• Linking scanners and multifunction devices to a host
• Connecting audio interfaces or DJ equipment with USB-B ports
• Home and office data transfer tasks where EMI protection is desirable

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.0 m
• Connector types: USB-A (host) to USB-B (peripheral)
• Shielding: aluminum braided shield for improved EMI protection
• Primary use: data transfer between host and USB-B devices
• Construction: reinforced exterior for enhanced mechanical durability

How to use

Connect the USB-A end to the host computer or USB hub and the USB-B end to the peripheral device. Ensure both devices are powered on if they require external power. For best results, route the cable away from large sources of electromagnetic noise, secure any excess length to avoid strain on connectors, and avoid tight bends at the connector entry points. Operating system drivers for the connected peripheral should be installed or updated as needed to enable full functionality.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short to medium-length wired connections in office or home environments. Replace the cable if you observe intermittent data errors, visible damage to the shielding or connectors, or if performance degrades. Store the cable coiled without sharp bends and avoid exposure to liquids or excessive heat to preserve shielding effectiveness and connector integrity.
