USB A to USB B Printer Cable TelForceOne 1.5 m - black

USB A to USB B Printer Cable TelForceOne 1.5 m - black is a rigid, shielded cable designed to connect printers and other peripherals with a USB B port to a computer's USB A port. At 1.5 metres length, it offers a straightforward wired link for data transfer and basic device control, suitable for home or office setups where a reliable USB printer connection is required.

Advantages

The cable provides a stable physical connection with standard USB A and USB B connectors that ensure compatibility with most printers and many scanners or external devices. Its fixed 1.5 m length balances reach and cable management, while the black outer jacket resists everyday wear and blends with common office equipment. The rigid construction minimizes signal loss over the short distance and reduces the likelihood of accidental disconnection during use.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop printers to computers with USB A ports
• Linking scanners or multifunction devices that use USB B
• Office workstations and home offices requiring a direct wired connection
• Temporary setups for printing, scanning, or driver installation

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for standard USB printer and peripheral connections and does not provide wireless, network, or extended USB-over-network functionality. It may not be suitable when longer reach is required beyond 1.5 metres, or when a flexible, ultra-thin cable is preferred for tight routing. For devices requiring USB-C, wireless printing, or specialized high-speed interfaces, a different cable or adapter will be necessary.

Key specifications

• Connector A: USB Type A (male)
• Connector B: USB Type B (male)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Colour: Black
• Typical use: Data transfer and device control between host and printer/peripheral

How to use

Ensure both the computer and the peripheral are powered off or in a ready state according to the device manufacturer’s instructions. Insert the USB Type A connector into an available USB A port on the host computer and insert the USB Type B connector into the matching port on the printer or peripheral. Power on the devices if required; the operating system should detect the connected device and, if necessary, install drivers. When disconnecting, follow the system’s safe removal procedure or power down the device to avoid interrupting data transfer.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the peripheral uses a USB Type B port (not USB-C or proprietary connectors)
• Verify that 1.5 m length meets your desk or equipment layout requirements
• Check compatibility with your operating system and any required drivers for the connected device

Usage recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For best results, use this cable for direct connections between a single host and peripheral rather than chaining multiple hubs or extensions.
