USB 2.0 B Male to B Female Panel-Mount Extension Cable

Some boxes want their B socket on the outside: instrument enclosures, machine cabinets, rack panels behind which the actual USB host lives. This cable makes that port: a USB 2.0 Type B female on a panel-mount head with locking screws that grip the mating B plug’s thumb-screw holes, running back through shielded cable to a Type B male that plugs into the printer, scanner or controller inside. The lock matters on B-type duty — B sockets serve permanently-plugged devices, and the connection should survive a cable kicked under a desk.

Electricals are Hi-Speed: compliant with USB 2.0 standards at up to 480 Mbps, backward compatible with 1.1, fully shielded to reduce interference, with an ultra-flexible cord that fits tight spaces and nickel-plated connectors. Moulding comes in black or customised colours for OEM runs.

Key features

• USB 2.0 B male to B female panel-mount extension
• Locking screws hold the device connection in place
• 480 Mbps Hi-Speed, backward compatible
• Fully shielded against interference
• Ultra-flexible cord; nickel-plated connectors

Specifications

Typical install: the device inside keeps its own short B lead mated to the panel socket; service access and cable changes happen at the panel, not inside the cabinet — the whole point of putting the port there. The ultra-flexible cord routes through shallow chassis channels, and the black moulding keeps the install looking factory rather than field-fix.

Typical applications

• Printer and scanner ports on enclosure panels
• Lab instruments and machine controllers
• Audio racks with internal USB interfaces
