Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable supports USB 2.0 data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps, ensuring efficient file transfers and peripheral communication. The 24/28 AWG wire gauge balances flexibility with reliable power and data transmission over its 3.3-foot length.
Shielding combines aluminum-mylar foil and braided layers to minimize electromagnetic interference, crucial for maintaining stable connections in electrically noisy settings. The nickel plating on connectors enhances corrosion resistance and ensures consistent electrical contact over repeated mating cycles.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
Key Product Advantages
The right-angled USB-B connector is the standout feature, enabling installations where clearance is limited. This design reduces strain on the connector and cable, extending the lifespan of both the cable and the connected device.
Space-Saving Design
Ideal for tight spaces behind printers, scanners, or in server racks where a straight connector would protrude awkwardly or not fit at all.
- Fits narrow gaps
- Reduces cable bend stress
- Cleaner cable management
Durable Construction
Built to withstand frequent plugging and unplugging with nickel-plated connectors and a flexible PVC jacket that resists kinking and abrasion.
- Nickel-plated connectors
- Braided and foil shielding
- 24/28 AWG conductors
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is specifically designed for connecting USB-B devices like printers, scanners, and external hard drives to computers or hubs in environments where space is at a premium. Its right-angled connector makes it perfect for installations where the device is placed flush against a wall or inside an enclosure.
Common deployment scenarios include point-of-sale systems, office workstations with limited desk space, retail kiosks, and industrial control panels. The cable's shielding also makes it suitable for use near other electronic equipment without signal degradation.
Office & Retail
Connect printers and scanners tucked into tight cabinets or under desks, ensuring cables don't obstruct foot traffic or storage access.
Industrial & Lab
Use with external hard drives or data loggers in equipment racks where straight connectors would interfere with adjacent components or doors.
Physical Profile
The cable features a sleek black PVC jacket that blends with most office and industrial equipment. Its lightweight design at 1.30 ounces makes it easy to route and manage without adding bulk. The right-angled connector is oriented to minimize protrusion, keeping the installation profile low and tidy.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.30 oz (36.85 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
