SPIDER Automation 1.2M USB Type-A to Type-B Cable | Arduino & Printer Data Cable
Description
The SPIDER Automation USB 2.0 Type-A to Type-B Cable is an essential, high-performance connectivity solution engineered for both microcontroller programming and peripheral interfacing. Measuring approximately 120cm (3.11 feet) in length, this standard USB 2.0 cable provides a stable, dependable link between your computer and classic development boards like the Arduino Uno and Arduino Mega 2560, as well as USB printers and scanners.
Designed to withstand heavy daily use in labs, offices, and maker spaces, this cable features comprehensive multi-layer shielding. An aluminum under-mold shield helps meet FCC requirements regarding signal interference, while a robust foil-and-braid shield minimizes electromagnetic (EMI) and radio frequency (RFI) noise. Finished with durable PVC over-molding and integrated strain relief, it guarantees reliable, error-free data communication and stable power delivery.
Key Features
- Universal Type-A to Type-B Configuration: Connects standard computer USB ports to classic Arduino boards, printers, and external peripherals.
- 1.2-Meter (3.11 Feet) Length: Offers optimal reach for desktop workspaces without excessive cable clutter.
- Dual-Layer Shielding: Combines foil-and-braid shielding with an aluminum under-mold to completely suppress EMI and RFI signal interference.
- Molded Strain Relief Boots: Reinforced PVC over-molding protects internal wire joints from bending stress and pulling damage.
- High-Speed Data Transmission: Fully compatible with USB 2.0 standards for fast, synchronized file transfers and stable microcontroller flashing.
Benefits
-
- Ensures Error-Free Arduino Uploads: High-quality construction prevents communication dropouts while flashing code to Arduino Uno and Mega boards.
- Protects Office Equipment: Premium cabling prevents data errors and connection failures common with cheap, unshielded printer cables.
