Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer speed of this cable?

This cable complies with the USB 2.0 specification and supports data transfer speeds of up to 480Mbit/sec.

What type of devices can I connect with this cable?

This cable is designed to connect devices with a USB Type-A port (usually on computers) to devices with a USB Type-B port, commonly found on printers, scanners, and some external hard drives.

Is this cable compatible with USB 3.0 devices?

While you can physically connect a USB 3.0 device with a Type-B port to this cable, it will only operate at USB 2.0 speeds (up to 480Mbit/sec). For full USB 3.0 speeds, a USB 3.0 compatible cable is required.

What do the AWG numbers (28AWG for Data, 26AWG for Power) mean?

AWG (American Wire Gauge) indicates the thickness of the wire. A lower AWG number means a thicker wire. This cable uses thicker 26AWG wires for power to ensure stable delivery and 28AWG wires for data, balancing performance and flexibility.

What is the warranty period for this Lindy cable?

This Lindy cable comes with a 10-year warranty.

Can I use this cable for charging my phone?

This cable uses a Type-B connector, which is not standard for most smartphones. It is primarily intended for devices like printers and scanners. For phone charging, you would typically need a USB Type-A to Micro-USB or USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable.

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized by computer

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged into the correct ports. Try a different USB port on your computer and a different USB Type-B port on your device if available. Test with another USB cable to rule out a cable issue.

Slow data transfer speeds

Verify that both the device and the computer's USB port support USB 2.0 speeds. Ensure the cable is fully inserted. Disconnect other high-bandwidth USB devices that might be sharing the same USB controller.

Intermittent connection or dropouts

Check for any physical damage to the cable or connectors. Ensure the cable is not kinked or strained. Try using the cable with a powered USB hub if your device requires more power than the port can provide.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports high-speed USB 2.0 data transfer (480Mbit/sec).
  • Durable construction with AWG 28/26 wiring for reliable power and data.
  • Fully moulded connectors provide strain relief and longevity.
  • 2-meter length offers good flexibility for device placement.
  • Complies fully with USB 2.0 specifications.

Cons

  • Limited to USB 2.0 speeds; not suitable for USB 3.0 or higher devices requiring faster transfer rates.
  • Transparent color may show dust or dirt more readily.
  • Type B connector is specific to certain devices like printers and scanners; not universal for all USB peripherals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the USB Type-A connector into a compatible USB port on your computer or host device, and the USB Type-B connector into your peripheral device (e.g., printer, scanner). No software installation is typically required as USB devices are plug-and-play.

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with all devices featuring a USB Type-A port and a USB Type-B port. It adheres to the USB 2.0 standard, ensuring interoperability with devices designed for this speed. It is backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices but will operate at USB 1.1 speeds.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  • Avoid bending the cable sharply, especially near the connectors.
  • Keep connectors clean and free from dust and debris. If necessary, use a dry, soft brush.
  • Store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  • Do not expose the cable to liquids or extreme temperatures.
