USB 2.0 Printer Cable A Male to B Male, 1 m, Gold Plated

Every printer ships with the world’s shortest USB cable, and every desk rearrangement exposes that fact. This is the replacement done properly: USB 2.0 Type A male to Type B male, 1 m of double-shielded cable, gold-plated contacts on moulded connector bodies. The shielding earns its place around printers and scanners — motorised, electrically noisy devices sitting three feet from the PC — and the gold plating resists the oxidation that turns an idle office cable into an intermittent one.

At Hi-Speed 480 Mbps it carries scanning, printing and multipage jobs without visible lag for any 2.0-class device — which is every printer still in service on a USB tether. Backward compatible with full-speed 1.1 gear, so old fax machines and label printers ride the same lead.

Key features

• USB 2.0 Type A male to Type B male, 1 m
• Gold-plated connectors, moulded bodies
• Double shielded for noise immunity near motors
• 480 Mbps Hi-Speed; compliant with USB / Hi-Speed USB
• Backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices

Specifications

An honest note on speed class: this is a 2.0-rate cable by design — printers are 2.0 devices and no faster cable makes one print sooner. For USB 3.0-rate scanners and drives, the shop’s 3.0 AM-to-BM line carries the SuperSpeed pair. At 1 m the lead covers desk-to-tower without surplus coil; pair it with the panel-mount B versions when the port should live on furniture instead.

Typical applications

• Office printers, scanners and all-in-ones
• Fax machines and label printers on older USB
• Desk and branch-office spare drawer stock
