PRO Metal USB 2.0 24AWG Printer Cable Lead - A Plug to B Male - Braided - 0.5m

This cable is primarily used for connecting USB 2.0 printers or scanners to a computer. The Type B (square) connector is standard for these devices.

24AWG refers to the wire gauge. A lower AWG number indicates a thicker wire, which generally means better conductivity and less signal loss, especially for longer cable runs or higher power delivery.

This is a USB 2.0 cable. While the Type A connector might physically fit into a USB 3.0 port, the connection will only operate at USB 2.0 speeds. It will not provide USB 3.0 speeds or features.

The metal housing provides a premium feel and enhanced durability. The braided cable protects the inner wires from abrasion and kinks, extending the cable's lifespan.

Yes, USB 2.0 cables are backward compatible and will work with USB 1.1 devices and ports. However, the data transfer speed will be limited to USB 1.1 speeds.

Gently wipe the connectors with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as they can damage the gold plating.

The maximum data transfer speed is 480Mbps (Megabits per second), which is the standard for USB 2.0 High Speed. This speed is only achieved when both the computer and the peripheral device support USB 2.0.

Ensure the USB Type A plug is securely inserted into the computer and the Type B plug is fully seated in the peripheral. Try a different USB port on the computer. Verify both the computer and the peripheral are powered on.

Confirm that both your computer's USB port and the peripheral support USB 2.0. Ensure you are not using a USB 1.1 port. Check that the cable is fully inserted at both ends.

Inspect the cable for any visible damage. Ensure the connectors are clean. Try a different USB 2.0 cable to rule out a cable fault.
