USB cable Renkforce RF-3016752 — USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-B / USB 2.0

Renkforce RF-3016752 is a USB cable that connects devices with a USB Type-B port to a computer or other host with a USB Type-A port. The cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 performance for high-speed data transfer and is downward compatible with USB 2.0 devices, making it suitable for a wide range of peripherals such as printers, scanners, external drives and audio interfaces.

Advantages

The cable provides reliable data transmission at USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds while remaining compatible with USB 2.0 equipment. Its Type-B to Type-A connector pairing ensures straightforward connection between standard host ports and peripheral devices. The construction prioritizes signal integrity and stable connectivity to reduce data errors and intermittent disconnections during transfers or device use.

Suitable for

• Desktop and laptop computers with USB Type-A ports
• Printers and multifunction devices
• Scanners and document feeders
• External hard drives and optical drives with Type-B ports
• Audio interfaces and other studio equipment using USB Type-B

Key specifications

• Connector A: USB Type-A (male)
• Connector B: USB Type-B (male)
• Supported standard: USB 3.2 Gen 1; backward compatible with USB 2.0
• Data transfer: up to USB 3.2 Gen 1 theoretical speeds
• Typical use: data transfer and device connection between host and peripheral
• Design focus: signal integrity and stable mechanical connection

How to use

Connect the USB Type-B end of the cable to the peripheral device and plug the USB Type-A end into the host computer or USB hub. Ensure both devices are powered as required; some peripherals may require external power or a powered USB hub. After connection, the host operating system should recognise the device and install any necessary drivers. For optimal performance, use a host port and device that both support USB 3.2 Gen 1; if either side supports only USB 2.0, the connection will operate at the lower standard.

Recommendations

To maintain performance and longevity, avoid sharp bends and excessive strain on the cable near the connectors, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources, and replace the cable if connectors show visible damage or intermittent connection issues.
