USB A to B Cables connect computers to printers, scanners, external hard drives, and audio interfaces. You need the correct connector type and USB version to match your device requirements.
Your peripheral determines which connector you need. Standard Type B fits most printers and scanners. Mini B suits older cameras and portable drives. Micro B works with Android devices and compact peripherals. The 8-pin Micro B connector supports USB 3.0 external storage. Each connector type is physically distinct and cannot be interchanged with any other type.
The USB version affects transfer speeds and power delivery. USB 2.0 cables support data transfer rates of up to 480 Mbps, making them suitable for printing and basic data transfer. USB 3.0 cables support speeds of up to 5 Gbps, making them ideal for fast external storage and high-resolution video devices. Standard cables are suitable for use up to 5 metres. Boosted cables extend this to 10-20 metres by amplifying the signal. We stock cables in lengths ranging from 0.5m to 5m for standard applications, with extended options available for longer runs. Black and blue colour options help with cable management and version identification.
Your device specifications list the required USB version and connector type. Check the port shape on your peripheral before ordering. USB 3.0 Type B connectors have an additional upper section compared to USB 2.0 OTG (On-The-Go) cables, enabling direct device-to-device connections without the need for a computer.
