For devices with an older USB version, this cable is backwards compatible so you can still make the connection. What it connects This cable features a standard Type-A USB connector on one end and a standard Type-B connector on the other. For example, you can plug the Type-A connector into your computer, then plug the Type-B connector into a device with a Type-B port. Printers and servers often have Type-B ports. Solid, durable Sturdy, with gold-plated connectors, this USB 2.0 cable can be disconnected and reconnected time and time again without signal loss. USB Version Numbers There are a number of different USB version numbers (1.0, 1.1, 2.0, and 3.0). This indicates their transfer speed. The higher the version number, the faster they can work. However, to get the full power, the "host", the device and the cable must have the same version. If not, the lowest USB version in the chain will control the speed. For example,if your computer has a 2.0 USB port, your cable is 3.0, and your phone is 3.0, you will achieve 2.0 speed. If all three (computer, cable and phone) have 3.0 then you will achieve 3.0 speed.

Thank you again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Functional Workhorse with Room for Improvement *by R***D on 16 March 2024* Amazon Basics USB-A to USB-B Cable: A Functional Workhorse with Room for Improvement In the world of computer peripherals, a reliable USB cable is an essential component. Amazon Basics' USB-A to USB-B 2.0 Cable offers a straightforward solution for connecting devices like external hard drives, printers, and cameras to your computer. At 4.8 meters (16 feet) in length, this cable provides ample reach for most setups. One of the strengths of this product lies in its construction quality. The cable features corrosion-resistant, gold-plated connectors, which should theoretically ensure optimal signal transfer and longevity. Additionally, the multi-shielded design helps mitigate interference, potentially improving the stability of data transmission. For those concerned about durability, the Amazon Basics brand and its one-year warranty offer some peace of mind. While the warranty duration may not be exceptional, it's a reassuring gesture from a reputable brand. However, there are a few potential drawbacks to consider. Firstly, the USB 2.0 specification, while still widely used, may not provide the fastest data transfer speeds for modern, high-performance devices. With the prevalence of USB 3.0 and even USB-C connections, this cable may become outdated sooner rather than later. Additionally, while the cable length is generous, some users may find it excessive, leading to potential cable management issues or increased susceptibility to electromagnetic interference over longer distances. Another aspect worth mentioning is the lack of specific information about the cable's shielding and overall build quality. While the product description mentions "multi-shielded" construction, the specific materials and shielding techniques used are not detailed. Overall, the Amazon Basics USB-A to USB-B 2.0 Cable is a solid choice for those seeking a reliable, no-frills connection for their peripheral devices. Its reasonable price point and the backing of the Amazon Basics brand make it a practical option. However, for users seeking future-proof performance or requiring specialized cable configurations, exploring alternatives might be necessary. ## Frequently Bought Together - Amazon Basics USB-A to USB-B 2.0 Cable with 480 Mbps Transfer Speed for Printer or External Hard Drive, Gold-Plated Connectors, 10 Foot, Black - CableCreation USB B to USB C Printer Cable 6.6FT, Type B to Type C Printer Cord for MacBook Pro, Air, MIDI Cable for Yamaha Casio Digital Piano, MIDI Keyboard, DJ Controller, DAC to iPad - 2M, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/48051823-usb-a-to-usb-b-2-0-cable-for-printer](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/48051823-usb-a-to-usb-b-2-0-cable-for-printer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
