Description
USB 2.0 Peripheral Connection Lead
The USB printer cable 5m connects a host USB Type-A port to the Type-B socket on a printer, scanner or external drive. It carries USB 2.0 High-Speed signalling at up to 480 Mbps and stays backward compatible with USB 1.1 hardware. Factory-moulded connectors remove field termination from the installation.
The data pair uses 28 AWG copper and the power pair uses 24 AWG to limit voltage drop across the 5-metre run. Foil and braid shielding enclose the conductor set, and ferrite cores clamp high-frequency noise at each end. Nickel-plated shells protect the connector bodies, and the PVC jacket measures 4.5 mm across.
Plug-and-play operation needs no driver on Windows, macOS or Linux hosts. The cable runs at 300V DC rating with 5 MOhm insulation resistance and 10 Ohm contact resistance. Operating temperature spans 0°C to 40°C in office and retail environments. Length beyond the USB 2.0 passive limit of 5 metres is avoided, which keeps signal integrity inside specification.
Typical deployment covers point-of-sale printers, A4 laser printers, flatbed scanners and label printers at reception desks and back offices. The assembly meets UL 2725 and RoHS requirements for indoor cabling.
Key Features
USB 2.0 High-Speed Transfer
The cable moves data at up to 480 Mbps and negotiates down for Full-Speed and Low-Speed peripherals.Type-A to Type-B Connector Pair
One USB Type-A male plug seats in the host while one Type-B male plug locks into the printer socket.Signal Integrity Package
- 28 AWG data conductors for high-speed pairs
- 24 AWG power conductors for lower voltage drop
- Foil plus braid double shielding against EMI
- Ferrite cores fitted at both connector ends
5-Metre Passive Length
The assembly matches the practical limit for passive USB 2.0 runs without a repeater or hub.Moulded Strain Relief
Die-cast connector covers protect the solder joints where the cable leaves the plug.Plug-and-Play Operation
The host loads the existing printer driver and needs no additional software for the cable itself.PVC Jacket and Nickel Shells
The 4.5 mm jacket resists abrasion, and nickel plating limits corrosion on the connector bodies.

Why Choose This Connection Cable
Moves a printer off the desktop and onto a shelf within a 5-metre cable reach.
Foil and braid shielding keeps the link stable beside monitors and power adapters.
The 24 AWG power pair supports bus-powered peripherals without voltage sag.
Moulded strain relief survives repeated movement at reception and till counters.
Plug-and-play setup removes driver work from high-volume rollout schedules.
The 5-metre length stays inside passive USB limits for dependable throughput.

Five metres is plenty, works as expected.
