Supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1 (also marketed as USB 3.1 Gen 1), this 1 m cable enables high-speed data transfer between computers and peripherals such as printers and scanners. The cable comes in a blue finish and is intended for straightforward, reliable connections where a standard USB B port is present.

The male/male connectors ensure a secure mechanical fit with compatible ports, and the coloured jacket helps with quick visual identification in multi-cable setups.

How to use
