USB cable MONTIS MT050 — USB-A to USB-B, 1.8 m, black

MONTIS MT050 is a USB-A to USB-B cable 1.8 m in length, designed to connect devices with USB-B sockets — for example printers, scanners, audio interfaces and some external drives — to hosts with a standard USB-A port. The cable provides a wired data link and can also carry the standard USB power supply required by many peripherals, making it suitable for reliable device communication in home, office and studio environments.

Advantages

The cable uses standard USB-A and USB-B connectors that ensure compatibility with a wide range of legacy and current peripherals. At 1.8 m length it offers a balance between reach and cable management, reducing the need for extensions while allowing flexible placement of connected devices. The black jacket provides a neutral appearance that fits typical office and home setups. The construction focuses on maintaining signal integrity for data transfer and stable power delivery over the cable length.

Suitable for

• Connecting printers and multifunction devices to desktop or laptop computers
• Linking scanners to hosts for document capture
• Connecting audio interfaces and MIDI devices for recording and monitoring
• Attaching certain external storage devices and legacy peripherals with USB-B ports

Key specifications

• Connector type: USB-A (host) to USB-B (device)
• Cable length: 1.8 m
• Color: black
• Primary function: data transmission and standard USB power delivery
• Typical supported use: peripheral connection for printers, scanners, audio equipment and compatible external drives

How to use

Insert the USB-A connector into a host computer's USB-A port and plug the USB-B connector into the peripheral's USB-B socket. Ensure both ends are fully seated; the connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect orientation. After connection, the host should recognize the device; install any required drivers or software according to the peripheral manufacturer's instructions. For stable operation, avoid sharp bends near the connectors and route the cable to prevent strain on the device ports.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the cable for direct connections between a computer and a peripheral without additional unpowered hubs. Keep the cable away from high-interference sources such as large transformers or radio transmitters to reduce potential data errors. If you require longer runs or repeaters, choose active or shielded solutions designed for extended distances and specific data rates.
