USB A-B cable c-tech CB-USB2AB-3-B 3 m — USB 2.0, black, A to B connector

c-tech CB-USB2AB-3-B is a 3 meter USB A to B cable in black designed to connect peripherals such as printers, scanners and some external drives to computers or other hosts with a USB A port. The cable conforms to the USB 2.0 data transfer standard, offering reliable wired communication for desktop and office setups. A flexible outer jacket and molded connectors provide strain relief and a durable physical connection while the 3 m length enables convenient placement of devices without needing an extension.

Advantages

The cable supports USB 2.0 data transfer rates and ensures backward compatibility with USB 1.1 hosts and devices. Molded connector ends improve mechanical durability and reduce the risk of connector damage from repeated insertion and removal. The flexible black jacket simplifies routing and placement around desks and equipment, while the 3 m length reduces the need to move devices closer to the host.

Suitable for

• Connecting printers and multifunction devices to desktop or laptop hosts
• Linking scanners to a computer for document capture
• Attaching external hard drives, optical drives or other peripherals with USB B ports
• Office, home office and small business workstation setups

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB A (male) to USB B (male)
• Data standard: USB 2.0 (full speed / high speed compatible)
• Length: 3 meters
• Color: black
• Sheath: flexible jacket with molded connector strain relief

How to use

Insert the USB A connector into an available USB A port on the host device and the USB B connector into the peripheral’s USB B port. Ensure connections are fully seated but avoid forcing connectors to prevent damage. After connecting, the host operating system should recognize the peripheral; install any necessary drivers or software supplied by the peripheral manufacturer. When disconnecting, remove the connector by gripping the molded housing rather than pulling the cable jacket.

Usage recommendations

Avoid routing the cable near high-power electrical equipment or unshielded power cords to minimize potential interference. For stable data transfers, keep cable length appropriate for the data rate and avoid sharp bends or kinks. Store the cable loosely coiled and protected from excessive heat and moisture when not in use.
