Cable USB Renkforce 1420166 — USB Type-A (conector macho) a USB Type-B (conector macho) 3.0, 50 cm

The Renkforce USB cable 1420166 is a USB 3.0 connection cable with a USB Type A (male) plug on one end and a USB Type B (male) plug on the other. At 50 cm length it is designed for short-distance high-speed connections between computers and peripheral devices such as printers, scanners and external drives. The cable supports the USB 3.0 specification for faster data transfer while remaining compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 hosts and devices.

Advantages

This USB Type A to Type B cable provides higher transfer rates compared with USB 2.0, enabling faster file transfers and improved communication with compatible peripherals. The compact 50 cm length reduces cable clutter and is convenient for desktop setups where devices sit close to the computer. Backward compatibility with older USB ports ensures the cable can be used with a wide range of existing equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop or laptop computers to printers and multi-function devices
• Linking scanners to computers for image capture and document scanning
• Connecting external hard drives or docking stations that use USB Type B
• Short, tidy connections in office workstations and home offices

Key specifications

• Connector types: USB Type A (male) to USB Type B (male)
• Standard: USB 3.0 (backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1)
• Length: 50 cm
• Use case: Data transfer between host (computer) and peripheral devices

How to use

Insert the USB Type A plug into an available USB port on the computer or host device and connect the USB Type B plug to the compatible peripheral such as a printer, scanner or external drive. Once connected, the operating system typically detects the device automatically; install drivers if required by the peripheral. For best performance with USB 3.0 speeds, use USB 3.0 ports on both the host and the peripheral.

Recommendations

Place the cable where it will not be pinched or sharply bent to avoid damage. For maximum transfer speeds, connect both ends to USB 3.0-compliant ports and avoid routing the cable parallel to high-power electrical cables to reduce potential interference.
