USB Type A to B Cable ShiverPeaks 3.0 (model 77030) — data and device connection

ShiverPeaks USB Type A to B Cable 3.0 (model 77030) is a wired data and device connection cable designed for linking computers with printers, scanners, external drives and other USB Type B devices. The cable implements a standard USB Type A male to Type B male connection, supporting the physical interface required for data transfer and device control in home, office and small business environments.

Advantages

This USB Type A to B cable provides a reliable wired connection with plug-and-play operation, eliminating the need for additional drivers in most modern operating systems. The cable is compatible with USB 3.0 host ports, offering improved signal integrity and faster data transfer compared with older USB 2.0 Type A–B cables when used with USB 3.0 devices. Its compact length keeps desktop setups tidy and reduces cable clutter while maintaining stable communications between host and peripheral.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop or laptop computers to printers and multifunction devices
• Linking scanners and imaging devices to a host computer
• Connecting external hard drives or optical drives with USB Type B ports
• Temporary or permanent wired connections in home, office, studio or small business setups

Key specifications

• Connector types: USB Type A (male) to USB Type B (male)
• USB standard: USB 3.0 physical specification compatible (backward compatible with USB 2.0)
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Color: blue
• Designed for data transfer and device control between host and peripheral

How to use

Insert the USB Type A plug into an available USB host port on your computer or hub and insert the USB Type B plug into the corresponding port on the peripheral device. Most systems will recognize the connected device automatically; allow the operating system to complete any driver installation if prompted. For optimal performance with USB 3.0 devices, connect both host and peripheral to USB 3.0-compliant ports.

Recommendations

Avoid bending or sharply kinking the cable and position it to prevent strain on connector ends. For sustained high-speed transfers, ensure both host and peripheral support USB 3.0 and use ports located directly on the computer rather than through unpowered hubs to maintain stable power and throughput.
