USB Type-A to Type-B cable ICIDU US3-ABB-0050.B, 0.5 m, up to 5 GB/s

ICIDU USB Type-A to Type-B cable US3-ABB-0050.B is a 0.5 m connection cable designed to link USB Type-B devices such as printers, scanners and audio interfaces to a host computer with a standard USB Type-A port. The cable supports data transfer rates up to 5 GB/s, suitable for typical peripheral communication and short-distance desktop setups where a compact, reliable connection is required.

Advantages

The cable offers a compact 0.5 m length that reduces desk clutter and signal degradation over short runs. Its USB Type-A to Type-B configuration provides wide compatibility with legacy and current peripherals. Supporting up to 5 GB/s data throughput ensures adequate performance for document transfer, audio streaming and device control without unnecessary excess length.

Suitable for

• Connecting printers and multifunction devices to a computer
• Linking scanners and document feeders for direct data transfer
• Connecting audio interfaces and MIDI devices to a host system
• Short-distance USB connections in office and home desktop setups

Key specifications

• Connector A: USB Type-A (male)
• Connector B: USB Type-B (male)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 5 GB/s
• Typical use: peripheral to host connections (printers, scanners, audio interfaces)

How to use

Insert the USB Type-A plug into an available USB Type-A port on your computer and connect the USB Type-B plug to the peripheral device. Ensure both devices are powered on if required by the peripheral. After connecting, allow the host operating system to recognise and install any necessary drivers; confirm the device appears in the system's device manager or settings before transferring data. For optimal signal integrity, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable free from heavy pinching.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.5 m cable for short, direct connections where minimal cable length is preferred. For longer runs or where higher sustained throughput is necessary, select a longer cable or a specification explicitly matching the peripheral's maximum USB version.
