• Attaching USB-B equipped external drives or device hubs
• Workstations and setups requiring a longer USB-A to USB-B reach

Key specifications

• Connector types: USB Type-A (host) to USB Type-B (device)
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 5 Gbps
• Cable length: 5 meters
• Designed use: data transmission between host and USB-B peripherals
• Compatibility: standard USB Type-A hosts and USB Type-B devices such as printers, scanners and audio interfaces

How to use

Connect the Type-A end of the cable to an available USB port on the host computer or device and insert the Type-B end into the corresponding connector on the peripheral. Ensure both devices are powered according to their manufacturer instructions. The host operating system typically detects the peripheral automatically; install any required drivers or software when prompted to enable full device functionality. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference for best signal integrity.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid kinking the cable and secure connectors when devices are moved. If you require longer runs or active signal boosting, consider using a USB repeater or an active extension solution that preserves 5 Gbps capability. Keep the connection ports clean and handle the cable by the connector housings to prevent strain on the cable ends.
