FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer speed of this cable?

This cable supports USB 2.0, with a maximum data transfer rate of 480 Mbit/s (megabits per second).

Can I use this cable with a USB 1.1 device?

What devices typically use a USB-B connector?

USB-B connectors are commonly found on printers, scanners, external hard drive enclosures, and some audio interfaces.

Do I need to install drivers for this cable?

No, this USB 2.0 cable is plug-and-play and does not require any driver installation for basic functionality.

What does 'hot swappable' mean for this cable?

'Hot swappable' means you can connect or disconnect devices using this cable while your computer is turned on, without needing to shut down or restart.

What does RoHS compliance mean?

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized or not working

Ensure the USB-A end is fully plugged into the computer and the USB-B end is fully plugged into the peripheral. Try a different USB port on your computer. Verify that both the computer and the peripheral device support USB 2.0 for optimal speed, and that the peripheral is powered on.

Slow data transfer speeds

Confirm that both your computer's USB port and the connected peripheral are USB 2.0 compliant. Using a USB 1.1 port or device will limit speeds to USB 1.1 (12Mbps). Check for any other USB devices consuming bandwidth, and ensure the cable is not damaged.

Cable physically damaged

Inspect the cable for any visible signs of damage, such as cuts, kinks, or bent pins on the connectors. If damaged, replace the cable.
