How to use

Plug the USB A connector into an available USB Type-A port on the host computer. Plug the USB B connector into the corresponding USB Type-B port on the peripheral device (for example, a printer or scanner). Ensure both devices are powered on as required. The cable supports standard USB 2.0 plug-and-play operation; most operating systems will recognise the connected device automatically. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends or pinch points to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this cable with devices that support USB 2.0 or lower. Avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines or sources of strong electromagnetic interference. If longer reach or higher transfer speeds are required, consider an appropriate USB extension, active cable, or a USB 3.x solution compatible with your devices.
