Microconnect USBAB3 USB cable USB 2.0 3 m USB A USB B White

The Microconnect USBAB3 is a 3 m USB 2.0 A-to-B cable designed to connect external USB devices with USB Type B sockets — for example printers or scanners — to a USB host such as a computer, notebook, USB hub or wall charger. The cable supports data transmission up to 0.48 Gbit/s and features nickel-plated contacts for improved durability and reliable signal contact. Its white colour provides a neutral appearance suitable for office or home environments.

Advantages

Nickel-plated contacts reduce corrosion and help maintain consistent connection quality. The A-to-B connector pair is compatible with a wide range of printers, scanners and other peripheral devices that use USB Type B sockets. The cable complies with USB 2.0 signalling, ensuring backward and forward compatibility when used with USB Type-A or Type-C hosts through appropriate host interfaces.
