Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this cable?
This cable complies with the USB 2.0 specification, allowing for data transfer speeds of up to 480 Mbit/sec.
What type of devices can I connect with this cable?
You can connect devices that have a USB Type-B port (like printers, scanners, or some external hard drives) to a computer with a USB Type-A port.
Is this cable suitable for charging devices?
Yes, the cable includes power wires (26AWG) and can be used for charging compatible USB devices, though charging speeds will be dependent on the power source and the device's requirements.
What does 'AWG' mean in the specifications?
AWG stands for American Wire Gauge. Lower AWG numbers indicate thicker wires. This cable uses 28AWG for data and 26AWG for power, which is suitable for USB 2.0 specifications.
Can this cable be used with USB 3.0 or newer devices?
While the USB Type-A connector is physically compatible, this cable is rated for USB 2.0 speeds (480 Mbit/sec). It will work with USB 3.0 devices, but the transfer speed will be limited to USB 2.0.
What is the warranty period for this cable?
This Lindy cable comes with a 10-year warranty.
Why is the cable transparent?
The transparent color is an aesthetic choice. It allows for visibility of the internal wiring and offers a distinct look compared to standard opaque cables.
Troubleshooting
Device not recognized by the computer
Ensure the cable is securely plugged into both the computer and the device. Try a different USB port on the computer. If possible, test with another known working USB cable to rule out a cable fault. Ensure the device drivers are correctly installed on your computer.
Slow data transfer speeds
Verify that the cable is connected to a USB 2.0 port on your computer. Ensure the connected device also supports USB 2.0 speeds. Check for any other USB devices causing bandwidth congestion on the same USB controller.
Intermittent connection or dropped connection
Check the cable for any visible damage. Ensure connectors are clean and free of debris. Try a different USB port. The short length may also be a factor if there's any strain on the cable; ensure it's not being pulled.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-speed USB 2.0 data transfer up to 480Mbit/sec.
- Dedicated wiring for data (28AWG) and power (26AWG) ensures stable performance.
- Fully moulded connectors offer enhanced durability and strain relief.

Cons
- The short 0.2m length is unsuitable for devices placed further away.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure both your computer and the peripheral device (e.g., printer, scanner) have a USB Type-A port and a USB Type-B port, respectively.
- Plug the USB Type-A connector into an available USB port on your computer.
- Plug the USB Type-B connector into the corresponding port on your peripheral device.
- Your operating system should automatically detect the device and install necessary drivers if they are not already present.
Compatibility:
- This cable is compatible with all devices featuring a USB Type-A port and a USB Type-B port.
- It fully supports the USB 2.0 specification, offering backward compatibility with USB 1.1 devices, though at slower speeds.
- It is not compatible with USB Type-C or Micro-USB ports.
Care:
- Avoid exposing the cable to excessive heat or moisture.
- Do not bend the cable sharply or repeatedly at the connectors, as this can damage the internal wiring.
- To clean, disconnect the cable from both devices and wipe gently with a dry or slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
