Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable uses standard USB 2.0 signaling, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of legacy and current devices that utilize the Type B interface. The 24/28 AWG wire gauge provides a balance of flexibility and current-carrying capacity suitable for typical peripheral power and data needs.
The right-angle design on the Type B end is particularly useful for installations where space behind the device is limited, such as in enclosed printer cabinets, tight desk setups, or mounted equipment. This orientation helps reduce strain on the connector and can prevent accidental disconnection.
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 primary advantage of this cable is its right-angle USB Type B connector, which solves a common physical installation challenge. This design allows the cable to route cleanly in confined areas without putting excessive bend stress on the port or cable.
Space-Saving Design
The 90-degree angle on the Type B connector enables installation in narrow gaps and against walls where a straight connector would not fit, making it ideal for organized cable management.
- Fits recessed ports
- Reduces cable protrusion
- Minimizes desk clutter
Reliable Connectivity
With full shielding and nickel-plated connectors, this cable maintains a stable connection and protects data integrity in electrically noisy environments common in office and industrial settings.
- EMI/RFI protection
- Durable connector plating
- Stable 480 Mbps throughput
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is specifically suited for connecting computers or hubs to peripherals that have a standard USB Type B port and are placed in space-constrained locations. Its 6.6 ft length provides ample reach for typical desk or cabinet arrangements.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting a desktop PC to a printer tucked into a shelving unit, linking a scanner in a compact workstation, or attaching an external hard drive dock that is positioned flush against a wall. The right-angle connector is especially valuable in rack-mounted equipment or under-desk installations where cable clearance is minimal.
Office Printer/Scanner Setup
Ideal for connecting to printers and scanners placed in tight corners or enclosed furniture, where the right-angle connector prevents cable bending and port damage.
External Storage Connection
Use with external hard drives or docking stations that benefit from a low-profile connection to keep workspaces neat and reduce tripping hazards.
Physical Profile
The cable features a sleek black PVC jacket that is both flexible and resistant to everyday wear. With a total length of 6.6 ft (2 m) and a lightweight design at approximately 2.10 oz, it is easy to route and manage without adding bulk. The right-angle connector adds minimal extra footprint, making it an unobtrusive solution for permanent installations.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 2.10 oz (59.53 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

User Manual
FAQ
What devices are compatible with this USB cable?
This cable is designed for devices with a standard USB Type B port, commonly found on printers, scanners, and external hard drives. It connects these peripherals to a computer or hub with a USB Type A port. It supports any USB 2.0 compatible device within that interface specification.
What is the advantage of the right-angle connector?
The right-angle USB Type B connector allows the cable to fit into tight or recessed spaces where a straight connector would be obstructed by walls, furniture, or other equipment. This reduces strain on the port, prevents accidental disconnection, and enables cleaner cable routing in confined installations.
What is the data transfer speed of this cable?
This cable supports USB 2.0 data transfer rates up to 480 megabits per second (Mbps). This is the maximum theoretical speed for the USB 2.0 standard, suitable for printing, scanning, and file transfers with compatible peripherals.
Is this cable shielded against interference?
Yes, the cable features aluminum-mylar foil combined with braided shielding. This construction protects the data signals from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI), ensuring reliable connectivity in environments with multiple electronic devices.
