USB 2.0 Type A to Type B Active Printer Cable UGREEN US122 10 m, black

USB 2.0 Type A to Type B Active Printer Cable UGREEN US122 10 m, black is a purpose-built cable for connecting USB-B devices such as printers, scanners and other peripherals to a host computer across extended distances while maintaining USB 2.0 connectivity. The cable incorporates active electronics that compensate for signal loss over long runs, allowing reliable data transmission and stable device communication in office, home and workshop environments.

Advantages

The active design preserves signal integrity over a 10 m length, reducing errors and retransmissions compared with passive long cables. It supports standard USB 2.0 data rates and provides a secure, plug-and-play connection without additional drivers. The cable’s molded connectors and durable outer jacket offer mechanical protection and abrasion resistance for frequent use and long-term installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting printers and multi-function devices to desktop computers and workstations
• Linking scanners and lab instruments requiring USB-B interfaces
• Office and home setups where the device is located far from the host PC
• Temporary event or kiosk installations that need stable USB data connections at a distance

Key specifications

• Connector types: USB Type A (host) to USB Type B (device)
• USB version: USB 2.0 (High Speed compatible)
• Cable length: 10 meters
• Active cable with integrated signal amplification and conditioning
• Outer color: black; molded strain relief at connectors

How to use

Connect the USB Type A end to the host computer’s USB port and the USB Type B end to the printer or peripheral device. The cable is plug-and-play; the host should recognize the device automatically if appropriate drivers are already installed. Position the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from strong electromagnetic interference sources such as large transformers or cordless phone bases to maintain signal quality.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this active USB 2.0 cable with devices that support USB 2.0 High Speed. Avoid combining multiple passive extension segments with the active cable and do not place heavy objects on the cable. If the connected device requires external power, ensure the device’s power supply is adequate rather than relying on bus power over long USB runs.
