Description
The USB Type-A to Type-B Cable is a reliable, high-performance USB 2.0 interconnect designed for microcontrollers, industrial peripherals, and office automation. Spanning approximately 1.2 meters (3.11 feet), it provides a stable communication bridge between host computers and development boards such as the Arduino Uno and Arduino Mega 2560, as well as legacy USB-B hardware like laser printers and flatbed scanners.
Engineered with dual foil-and-braid shielding and an aluminum under-mold shield, this heavy-duty cable minimizes electromagnetic (EMI) and radio frequency (RFI) interference to ensure error-free data transfer. Built-in strain relief molding and durable PVC over-molding protect internal conductors against stress, providing long-lasting reliability for your workshop or workspace.
Note: Product images are for reference only. Cable color and shape may vary slightly depending on current stock rotation.
Key Features
- High-Speed USB 2.0 Performance: Features a standard USB Type-A male connector on one end and a Type-B male connector on the other for broad system compatibility.
- Multi-Layer Shielding Architecture: Incorporates foil, braid, and aluminum under-mold shielding to drastically reduce signal interference and packet corruption.
- Strain Relief Molding: Robust PVC over-molding prevents conductor fatigue and cable breakage at the connector joints during frequent handling.
- Optimal Workspace Length: Measures 1.2 meters, offering a convenient reach between desktop PCs and peripheral equipment without excess clutter.
Benefits
- Error-Free Data Transfer: Premium internal wiring ensures stable code flashing, firmware debugging, and high-volume document printing without interruptions.
- Component Longevity: Protects sensitive microcontroller USB interfaces and peripheral controller boards from voltage irregularities and loose physical connections.
- Robust Mechanical Durability: Withstands rigorous day-to-day plugging and unplugging in active laboratory, educational, and office environments.
Applications
- Microcontroller Prototyping: Uploading sketches, debugging, and powering Arduino Uno and Arduino Mega 2560 development boards.
- Office Automation & Peripherals: Connecting USB-B receipt printers, laser printers, and flatbed scanners to host computers.
- Embedded Instrument Interfacing: Linking test instrumentation, external enclosures, and programmable hardware modules utilizing Type-B ports.
