Designed for use with printers, external enclosures, hubs and other Plug and Play peripherals, the cable features gold-plated contacts, shielding and fully moulded boots with strain relief to ensure reliable connectivity and reduced electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

Gold-plated contacts improve conductivity and reduce corrosion for stable signal transfer. The cable's shielding and magnetic protection minimize EMI for fewer data errors. Fully moulded boots with strain relief increase durability at connection points and help prevent cable damage during regular use. Supports standard USB 2.0 speeds across Windows and Mac systems.

How to use

Plug the USB A connector into the host device (computer or hub) and the USB B connector into the peripheral (printer, external enclosure or other device).

Recommendations

For best performance, use the cable for USB 2.0 devices at lengths up to 1.8 m and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines. Inspect the moulded boots periodically and replace the cable if any connector damage or excessive wear appears.
