FAQs

What devices is this cable typically used for?

This cable is most commonly used for connecting USB 2.0 printers and scanners to computers. It can also be used with other peripherals that feature a USB Type B port.

What is the data transfer speed of this cable?

This cable is USB 2.0 compliant, supporting data transfer speeds up to 480 Mbps.

Is this cable suitable for USB 3.0 devices?

No, this cable is designed for USB 2.0 connections. While it may physically connect to a USB 3.0 port, it will only operate at USB 2.0 speeds.

What does 24AWG mean for this cable?

24AWG (American Wire Gauge) refers to the thickness of the copper wire inside the cable. A lower AWG number indicates a thicker wire, and in this case, 24AWG signifies high-grade copper that allows for better conductivity, leading to faster charging and more reliable data transfer.

Why is the cable shielded?

The shielding helps to protect the data signal from electromagnetic interference (EMI) emitted by other electronic devices or power sources, ensuring a more stable and reliable connection.

Can I use this cable for charging my phone?

While the cable supports faster charging due to its 24AWG copper, it is designed with a Type B connector, which is not standard for most smartphones. It's intended for devices like printers and scanners. You would need a USB Type A to Micro-USB or USB Type C cable for most phones.

What is the length of the cable?

The cable length is 0.15 meters (approximately 5.9 inches).

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized by computer

Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged in. Try a different USB port on your computer and ensure the device is powered on. Test with another known working USB cable if possible.

Slow data transfer speeds

Confirm the connected device and the computer's USB port both support USB 2.0 speeds. Ensure no other high-bandwidth USB devices are overloading the system. Check for physical damage to the cable.

Intermittent connection or dropped signal

The cable's shielding may be compromised or there could be interference. Try moving the cable away from power sources or other electronic devices. Inspect the cable for any visible damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers faster charging and data transfer due to 24AWG high-grade copper.
  • Shielding reduces interference for a more stable connection.
  • Durable construction with nickel-plated, gold-contact connectors.
  • Compact 0.15m length is ideal for close-proximity connections.

Cons

  • The 0.15m length may be too short for some setups, requiring extensions or hubs.
  • Limited to USB 2.0 speeds; not suitable for devices requiring USB 3.0 or higher.
  • Only one cable is included per pack.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply plug the USB Type A connector into a corresponding port on your computer and the USB Type B connector into your printer, scanner, or other compatible device. Ensure both connections are secure.

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with any device featuring a standard USB Type A port on the host side (computer) and a USB Type B port on the peripheral side. It fully supports the USB 2.0 standard.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, keep the cable clean and free from dust. Avoid bending the cable sharply or exposing it to extreme temperatures. If the connectors become dirty, gently wipe them with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners.
