USB Cable ShiverPeaks 5m USB 3.2 Gen 1 USB A to USB B Blue

The ShiverPeaks 5m USB 3.2 Gen 1 cable (USB A to USB B) provides a reliable wired connection for devices that use standard USB A and USB B ports. With support for USB 3.2 Gen 1 transfer speeds up to 5 Gbit/s and a five-metre length, this blue cable is intended to connect printers, scanners, external drives, audio interfaces and other peripherals to host computers over an extended reach while maintaining high data throughput.

Advantages

The cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 data rates up to 5 Gbit/s and is backward compatible with earlier USB generations. Nickel-plated contacts improve conductivity and resist corrosion for stable signal transmission. The 5 m length allows flexible placement of peripherals without the need for intermediate hubs or extenders. The blue jacket makes the cable easy to identify among other leads.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop or laptop computers to printers and scanners
• Linking external hard drives and docking stations with USB B ports
• Audio interfaces, MIDI controllers and other studio equipment with USB B
• Office and home setups that require a longer USB connection

How to use

Insert the USB A plug into the host computer’s USB A port and the USB B plug into the peripheral device’s USB B port. Ensure both connectors are fully seated to establish a proper data connection. If the connected device requires drivers or configuration, follow the device manufacturer's instructions on the host system. For best performance, avoid excessive bending near the connectors and ensure the cable is not sharply kinked.

Recommendations

For reliable high-speed transfers, use the cable for direct connections between host and peripheral devices without passive splitters. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid running it parallel to power lines for long distances to reduce potential interference.
