## Long description

The Active USB 2.0 A to B Cable StarTech 9 m (30 ft) — 480 Mbps, Nickel-plated Contacts, Black is a purpose-built extension cable for USB 2.0 devices that require longer reach. It features a USB Type-A connector at one end and a USB Type-B connector at the other, and supports data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps. The cable includes an integrated equalizing chip to preserve signal integrity over the 9 m (30 ft) length and nickel-plated contacts to resist corrosion and maintain reliable connectivity between host systems and USB B peripherals such as printers, scanners and external drives.
Advantages
This active USB 2.0 cable maintains USB 2.0 transfer speeds up to 480 Mbps across its full 9 m length by using signal equalization electronics. Nickel-plated contacts improve contact reliability and reduce oxidation over time. The cable’s construction is optimized for stable connections to USB B devices at extended distances, reducing the need for intermediate hubs or repeaters while remaining backwards compatible with standard USB 2.0 hosts and peripherals.
Suitable for
Connecting desktop computers or laptops to USB B printers and multifunction printers at longer distances
Linking scanners, label printers, and audio interfaces to a host system placed away from the device
Extending connections to external USB B hard drives or docking stations without signal loss
Temporary or permanent workstation setups where the host and peripheral cannot be placed close together
Key specifications
Cable length: 9 m (30 ft)
USB standard: USB 2.0 (High Speed), up to 480 Mbps
Connector types: USB Type-A (host) to USB Type-B (peripheral)
Contact plating: nickel-plated contacts for corrosion resistance
Active electronics: integrated equalizing chip to maintain signal integrity over extended length
Color: black
How to use
Plug the USB Type-A connector into the host computer or USB hub and insert the USB Type-B connector into the peripheral device. Ensure both devices are powered according to their specifications before data transfer or device operation. The cable is designed to be plug-and-play with USB 2.0 systems; in most cases no additional drivers are required. Avoid sharp bends near the connectors and allow some slack to prevent strain on ports during installation.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, use the cable for USB 2.0 peripherals that support High Speed operation and avoid routing the cable alongside high-voltage power lines or heavy electromagnetic sources. If the peripheral requires bus power and is located far from the host, verify the device’s power requirements — an externally powered hub or dedicated power source may be needed. Store the cable loosely coiled to prevent kinking and inspect contacts periodically for debris or corrosion.
